Key Points: Physical Properties of Alcohols and Phenols
- Intermolecular Forces — Alcohols and phenols are polar; –OH groups form strong hydrogen bonding.
- Boiling Point — Increases with molecular mass; decreases with branching (n-butyl > isobutyl > sec-butyl > tert-butyl).
- Solubility — Phenols and lower alcohols (≤3 C) are water-soluble via H-bonding with water.
- Phenol is less soluble than alcohols due to the large hydrophobic benzene ring.
- Lower alcohols are colourless liquids, higher ones become waxy solids.
- Phenols are crystalline solids with a characteristic odour and higher boiling points.
- Kolbe's & Reimer–Tiemann — Phenoxide + CO₂/H⁺ → salicylic acid; + CHCl₃/NaOH → salicylaldehyde (electrophile: CCl₂).
- Oxidation/Reduction of Phenol — Na₂Cr₂O₇/H₂SO₄ → p-benzoquinone; 3H₂/Ni/433 K → cyclohexanol; Zn → benzene.
