LECTURE 8 Alcohols
General Terms for Reaction
solvent
Reactant (substrate) + Reagent Product
Type of nucleophilic substitution reaction:
● SN1
● SN2
● SNi
● SN2Ar
● SN2Th
Substitution of Alcohols
Reaction with hydrogen halides
i. Protonation converts the hydroxyl group from a poor leaving group (OH)- into a good
leaving group (H2O)
SN1 Reaction of Alcohols
Conc. HBr
CH3CHCH3
or NaBr, H2SO4
I
OH
Isopropyl alcohol
Example Which describes the best stereochemical aspects of the following reaction?
CH3
H - Br
Et Product
Ph OH
HCI (Hydrochloric acid) reacts with alcohols in much the same way that as the hydrobromic
acid.
Chloride ion is a weaker nucleophile than bromide ion because it is smaller and less
polarizable.
Lucas Reagent
Lewis acid, such as ZnCl2, is sometimes necessary to promote the reaction of HCl with
primary and secondary alcohols.
