Phenols Phenols occur widely in living organisms and are intermediates in the industrial synthesis of products as diverse as adhesives and antiseptics Phenols are general disinfectants found in coal tar Methyl salicylate is a flavoring agent found in oil of wintergreen Urushiols are the allergenic constituents of poison oak and poison ivy The word phenol is the name both of a specific compound and of a class of compounds OH OH OH CO2CH3 OH Phenol Methyl salicylate Urushiols (also known as (R different C15 alkyl carbolic acid) and alkenyl chains)

13-1 Naming Alcohols,Phenols,and Thiols Alcohol classifications Class depends on the number of organic groups,R,bonded to the hydroxyl-bearing carbon Primary(1)alcohol contains -OH group on carbon atom that is bonded to one R group Secondary (2)alcohol contains -OH group on carbon atom that is bonded to two R groups Tertiary(3)alcohol contains-OH group on carbon atom that is bonded to three R groups OH OH OH R -H R -R H R A primary(1)alcohol A secondary(2)alcohol A tertiary (3)alcohol
Alcohol classifications ▪ Class depends on the number of organic groups, R, bonded to the hydroxyl-bearing carbon ▪ Primary (1º) alcohol contains –OH group on carbon atom that is bonded to one R group ▪ Secondary (2º) alcohol contains –OH group on carbon atom that is bonded to two R groups ▪ Tertiary (3º) alcohol contains –OH group on carbon atom that is bonded to three R groups 13-1Naming Alcohols, Phenols, and Thiols
Naming Alcohols,Phenols,and Thiols Simple alcohols are named in the IUPAC system as derivatives of the parent alkane,using the suffix -o/: Rule 1 Select the longest carbon chain containing the hydroxyl group,and derive the parent name by replacing the -e ending of the corresponding alkane with -o/ The -e is deleted to prevent the occurrence of two adjacent vowels Rule 2 Number the alkane chain beginning at the end nearer the hydroxyl group
Simple alcohols are named in the IUPAC system as derivatives of the parent alkane, using the suffix –ol: Rule 1 Select the longest carbon chain containing the hydroxyl group, and derive the parent name by replacing the –e ending of the corresponding alkane with –ol ▪ The –e is deleted to prevent the occurrence of two adjacent vowels Rule 2 Number the alkane chain beginning at the end nearer the hydroxyl group Naming Alcohols, Phenols, and Thiols
Naming Alcohols,Phenols,and Thiols Rule 3 Number the substituents according to their position on the chain,and write the name,listing the substituents in alphabetical order and identifying the position to which the- OH is bonded In the case of cis-cyclohexane-1,4-diol the final -e of cyclohexane does not need to be deleted because the next letter ("d")is not a vowel OH 4 123 4 CH3 CH3CCH2CH2CH3 321 CHCHCH3 CH3 OH HO 2-Methylpentan-2-ol cis-Cyclohexane-1,4-diol 3-Phenylbutan-2-ol Old:2-Methyl-2-pentanol) (Old:cis-1,4-cyclohexanediol) (Old:3-Phenyl-2-butanol
