Alcohols are a family of organic compounds that contain the -OH functional group.[1] In systematic chemical nomenclature alcohols end with the suffix -ol.[1][2] Alcohols can be formed by the hydration of alkenes. Alchols can be dehydrated to form esters
Chemistry Any of a broad category of organic chemicals containing one or more hydroxyl––OH groups with a minimal tendency to ionize; alcohols can be liquids, semisolids or solids at room temperature Common alcohols Ethanol or CH3CH2OH/'drinking' alcohol, methanol–CH3OH, wood/grain alcohol, whi...
Alcohol - Reactions, Chemistry, Uses: Because alcohols are easily synthesized and easily transformed into other compounds, they serve as important intermediates in organic synthesis. A multistep synthesis may use Grignard-like reactions to form an alcoho
(organic chemistry, countable) Any of a class of organic compounds (such as ethanol) containing a hydroxyl functional group (-OH). (colloquial) ethanol (uncountable) Beverage containing ethanol. 2013 June 22, “Snakes and ladders”, in The Economist, volume 407, number 8841, page 76: Risk...
This led to a search of the literature for the known existence of this chemistry in other plants and to testing of the plants identified. This approach has proven to be slow and laborious, largely due to the large amount of data that must be manually investigated. It is possible that this...
Severe or frequent intoxication, on the other hand, may produce more serious disturbances, including temporary extensive imbalances in the body chemistry, cardiac arrhythmias,acutehepatitis, loss of memory (blackouts, passing out), and numerous “hangover” effects:nausea,headache,gastritis,dehydration, ...
The synthesis of new compounds that contain both a terminal pentafluoro-位6-sulfanyl (SF5) group and an alkene or alcohol functional group is reported. Five new SF5 containing alkenes and one new SF5 containing alcohol were prepared: SF5CH2CHBrCH2CFCF5 (1), SF5CF2CF2CH2CHICH2CFCF2 (...
This was hardly surprising and it was some time before the four determining components of a washing procedure – mechanics, chemistry, temperature and time – were combined. It was only in the 1930s that Dr Herbert Sinner investigated the influence of these components on the washing process, ...
Certain functional groups have been identified in Organic Chemistry for ease of identification and nomenclature. One such group is an alcohol group which has one or more hydroxyl groups (OH) connected to the carbon through non-ionic bonding, the general formula being R-OH. ...
