Alcohol Reaction - Coggle Diagram
Alcohol Reaction
Oxidation
Secondary Alcohol (R2-CHOH)
Ketone (R2-CO-R)
Isopropanol (CH3CHOHCH3) → Acetone
Tertiary Alcohol (R3-COH)
Resistant to oxidation
Tert-butanol (CH3)3COH is not easily to be oxidised
Coomon oxidizing agents like Potassium permanganate (KMnO4)
Primary Alcohol (R-CH2OH)
Carboxylic Acid (R-COOH)
Ethanol(CH3CH2OH) → Acetic Acid
Aldehyde (R−CHO)
Ethanol(CH3CH2OH) → Acetaldehyde
Dehydration
Alkene + Water
Heat or acidic conditions
Ethanol → Ethene + Water
Esterification
Ester + Water
Ethanol + Acetic acid → Ethyl acetate + Water
Presence of acid catalyst
