Must-Know Alcohol Reactions and Phenol Reactions: Organic Chemistry

In this video we go through the 7 Must-Know Alcohol Reactions and 5 Must-Know Phenol Reactions.
Memorising the reagents and conditions for these alcohol reactions is an integral part of Organic Chemistry, so I've added 2 short memory tests. Let's see if you can remember all of them!

Very Good❤

[@SodiumInteresting]

I wish you would say the compound names rather than reading out the written formula notations. I would have understood this

Will cold Kmno4 oxidise alcohol?

[@ChemistryGuru]

Hi Abdullah for A level Syllabus oxidation of alcohols will require heating. Can either use KMnO4 or K2Cr2O7 in dil H2SO4 heat or reflux. 😊

Thankyou

[@ChemistryGuru]

You are welcome. Happy mugging! 😊

Can alcohol react with Br2 (aq)?

[@ChemistryGuru]

Hi Sivvani for A Level Chemistry syllabus alcohols will not react with aqueous bromine. However phenol will be able to react with aqueous bromine to form 2,4,6-tribromophenol. This is an electrophilic substitution of benzene due to highly activating effect of -OH group.
