5.0 Alcohols, Thiols, Ethers and Amines
Learning Objectives
In this chapter you will learn to
- identify the functional groups alcohol, phenol, thiol, ether, and amine on organic chemical structures
- provide reasonably correct names when given structures, and draw structures when given names, for structures containing the functional groups above
- recognize the potential for hydrogen bonding in alcohols and amines and relate this to their physical properties (melting and boiling points, water solubility)
- explain the solubility and melting point changes that accompany amine protonation
