[PDF] alcohol and phenols

Alcohol is formed when a saturated carbon atom is bonded to a hydroxyl (-OH) group. Phenol is formed when a hydrogen atom in a benzene molecule is replaced by the -OH group. Ether is formed when an oxygen atom is connected to two alkyl or aryl groups.

  • Why is alcohol a phenol?

    Although phenols are more acidic compared to alcohols, we can say that phenols are considered as a subset of alcohol. And, it's a fact that both alcohol and phenols contain a hydroxyl group. Phenols can also be named as carbolic acids.

  • Is phenol the same as alcohol?

    Publisher Summary. Phenols have unique properties and are not classified as alcohols. They have higher acidities due to the aromatic ring's tight coupling with the oxygen and a relatively loose bond between the oxygen and hydrogen.

  • Why is phenol different from alcohol?

    An alcohol contains one or more hydroxyl (OH) group(s) directly attached to carbon atom(s), of an aliphatic system (CH3OH) while a phenol contains –OH group(s) directly attached to carbon atom(s) of an aromatic system (C6H5OH).
  • – in alcohols, a hydroxyl group is connected to a carbon atom. – in phenols, —OH is connected to a benzene ring. (The “parent” molecule of this class is also named phenol: PhOH or C6H5OH.) When two carbon groups are connected by single bonds to an oxygen, this is classified as the ether functional group.
