About this document
Alcohols and Phenols: Properties & Reactions by Makenzie Downs is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) Alcohols contain a carbon bonded to a hydroxyl (-OH) group, while phenols contain a benzene ring bonded to a hydroxyl group. 2) Common reactions of alcohols and phenols include oxidation, reduction, dehydration, and conversion to good leaving groups like sulfonates for further reactions. 3) Grignard reagents and organolithium compounds react with a variety of functional groups and can be used to reduce esters, convert alkyl halides to alcohols, and introduce new carbon chains.
