What are alcohols, phenols and ethers ? State the various applications of these compounds in day-to-day life ?

Answer»

Solution :`to` The alcohols and phenols are formed by the replacement of hydrogen atom in an aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon respectively. The ethers are formed by the replacement of the hydrogen atom in hydrocarbon by alkoxy or aryloxy groups. The ethers may also VISUALIZE as the replacement of hydrogen of -OH group of alcohol or phenol by alkyl or aryl group.
`to` The alcohols CONTAIN one or more than one -OH groups BONDED directly to carbon atom(s) of an aliphatic system `(CH_(3)OH)` whereas phenol contains -OH group(s) bonded directly to the `sp^(2)` carbon of an aromatic system (`C_(6)H_(5)OH`).
`to` Applications : Ethanol is used for polishing of a wooden furniture. It is called ordinary spirit. The sugar we eat, the cotton used in fabrics, the paper used for WRITING, are all made of compounds containing -OH groups.

What is meant by the following terms? Give an example of the reaction in each case. (i) Cyanohydrin "" (ii) Acetal (iii) Semicarbazone "" (iv) Aldol (v) Hemiacetal "" (vi) Oxime (vii) Ketal "" (viii) Imine (ix) 2, 4-DNP-derivative "" (x) Schiff's base .

Answer»

Solution :Compounds possessing hydroxyl and cyano groups on the same carbon atom are called cyanohydrins. These are produced by addition of HCN to aldehydes or ketones in weakly basic medium

Cyanohydrins are useful synthetic reagents, they are used to prepare a-hydroxyacids. For example,

(ii) Compounds in which two alkoxy groups are present on the terminal carbon atom are called acetals. These are produced by the action of an aldehyde with two equivalents of a monohydric alcohol in presence of dry HCl gas.

They are easily hydrolysed by dilute mineral acid to regenerate the original aldehydes. Therefore, they are used for the protection of aldehyde group in ORGANIC synthesis and for the purification of aldehydes.
(iii) Semicarbazones are derivatives of aldehydes or ketones and are produced by the action of semicarbazide in weakly acidic medium,

These are used for identification and characterisation of aldehydes and ketones.
(iv) Aldols are `beta`-hydroxyaldehydes or ketones. They are produced by the condensation of two molecules of the same or one molecule each of two DIFFERENT aldehydes or ketones in presence of a dilute aqueous base. For example,

(v) Alcohols containing on alkoxy group are called hemiacetals. These are produced by addition of one molecule of a monohydric alcohol to an aldehyde in presence of dry HCl gas.

(VI) When aldehydes or ketones react with hydroxylamine in weakly acidic medium, oximes are formed.

(VII) Ketals are produced when a ketone is heated with ethylene glycol in presence of dry HCI gas or p-toluenesulphonic acid (PTS). It has a cyclic structure.

These are easily hydrolysed by dilute mineral acids to regenerate the original ketones. Therefore, ketals are used for protection of keto groups in organic synthesis.
(viii) Compound containg -CH=N-group are called imines. These are produced when aldehydes and ketones reacts with ammonia and its derivatives.

`Z = H, Alkyl , aryl, -NH, -OH, -NHC_6H_5, -NHCONH_2, ` etc.
(ix) Aldehydes or ketones react with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine in weakly acidic medium to produce 2, 4-DNP derivative.
2,4-Dinitrophenyl Acetone 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone hydrazine (2.4-DNP derivative) 2,4-DNP derivatives are used for identification and characterisation of aldehydes and ketones.
(x) Aldehydes and ketones react with primary aliphatic or aromatic amines in presence of TRACE of an acid to form azomethines or Schiff.s bases. In principle, Schiff.s bases are imines.
20946.
