Alcohols, Ethers, and Thiols - What Are the Characteristic Reactions of Alcohols?
17 important questions on Alcohols, Ethers, and Thiols - What Are the Characteristic Reactions of Alcohols?
How acidic are alcohols?
How will an alcohol react in the presence of a strong acid?
How does an alcohol react with active metals like Li, Na, K, Mg?
For what reactions is sodium ethoxide used?
How are alcohols converted to haloalkanes?
Under what conditions do water-insoluble tertiary alcohols react?
Under what conditions do water-insoluble primary and secondary alcohols react?
By what mechanisms are alcohols converted to haloalkanes?
Primary by a SN2 mechanism.
Why do primary alcohols react trough the SN2 mechanism and tertiary trough SN1?
2. Because of steric factors. The halide ion must be able to approach the substitution center, which is much easier in primary alcohols than in secondary alcohols.
Under what conditions can alcohols be dehydrated?
When two isomeric products can be formed during the acid-catalyzed hydration of alcohols which will be formed?
What are the E1 mechanism steps in the acid-catalyzed dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohol?
2. Breaking of a bond to form a stable molecule or ion.
3. Removal of a proton, regeneration the acid-catalyst.
Since the acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes and the acid-catalyzed dehydration of alcohols are in equilibrium how are they controlled?
2. For the formation of alkenes the water is removed.
How do you determine which stereoisomer are formed in the dehydration of an alcohol?
2. Remove the hydroxyl group and draw in the carbon-carbon double bond from α-carbon to β-carbon.
What product is formed in the oxidation of alcohols?
Secondary alcohols can be oxidated to ketones.
Tertiary alcohols can not be oxidated.
What is the most commonly used reagent for the oxidation of primary alcohols?
What reagent is used when you want octanal as a product and not octanoic acid?

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of Study Smart with Chris, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart With Chris, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with Study Smart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with Study Smart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, Study Smart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to Study Smart with Chris, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
