Key Points: Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers
- Alcohols and phenols both contain —OH group but differ in the type of hydrocarbon — aliphatic vs aromatic.
- Ethers have the general formula R—O—R, where oxygen bridges two carbon groups.
Types of Alcohols
| Type | Meaning | Position of —OH |
|---|---|---|
| Allylic Alcohol | —OH attached to sp³-hybridised carbon next to C=C double bond | Carbon next to C=C |
| Benzylic Alcohol | —OH attached to sp³-hybridised carbon next to aromatic ring | Benzylic carbon |
| Vinylic Alcohol | —OH attached directly to a vinylic carbon (CH₂=CH—) or aryl carbon | On C=C bond |
