Esterification Test Observation : Pungent smell was produced
DISCUSSION
: Explain the formation of the two layers in the Lucas Test. Two layers was formed in Lucas Test because of the difference in intermolecular forces
between reactant and 2-methyl-2-propanol.
Write the equations for the reactions in Part (B) and Part (C). Part (B)
CH3
CH3 H20+HCL
CH3CCH3
CH3CCH3 + H20 Zn
OH
Cl
PART (C) O CH3C-OH + HOCH 2CH3
O CH3C-OCH2CH3
CONCLUSION
: 1) The alcohols are classified as primary primary (1°), secondary (2°) and tertiary (3°) alcohols. 2) Alcohols undergo oxidation to give aldehydes , ketones, or carboxylic acids, or they can be dehydrated to alkenes. As one moves from primary to secondary to tertiary alcohols with the same backbone, backbone, the hydrogen bond strength, strength, the boiling point, point, and the acidity typically typically decrease. decrease.
