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
