  2. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    When necessary, the position of the hydroxyl group is indicated by a number between the alkane name and the -ol: propan-1-ol for CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH, propan-2-ol for CH 3 CH(OH)CH 3. If a higher priority group is present (such as an aldehyde , ketone , or carboxylic acid ), then the prefix hydroxy- is used, [ 19 ] e.g., as in 1-hydroxy-2 ...

  3. Cyclohexanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclohexanol

    2 C 6 H 12 + O 22 C 6 H 11 OH. This process coforms cyclohexanone, and this mixture ("KA oil" for ketone-alcohol oil) is the main feedstock for the production of adipic acid. The oxidation involves radicals and the intermediacy of the hydroperoxide C 6 H 11 O 2 H. Alternatively, cyclohexanol can be produced by the hydrogenation of phenol ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    Commas are put between numbers (2 5 5 becomes 2,5,5) Hyphens are put between a number and a letter (2 5 5 trimethylheptane becomes 2,5,5-trimethylheptane) Successive words are merged into one word (trimethyl heptane becomes trimethylheptane) Note: IUPAC uses one-word names throughout. This is why all parts are connected. The resulting name ...

  5. Primary alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_alcohol

    In contrast, a secondary alcohol has a formula “–CHROH” and a tertiary alcohol has a formula “–CR 2 OH”, where “R” indicates a carbon-containing group. Examples of primary alcohols include ethanol and 1-butanol. Methanol is also generally regarded as a primary alcohol, [2] [3] including by the 1911 edition of the Encyclopædia ...

  6. Cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol

    Cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol is a family of chemical compounds with formula C 6 H 12 O 6, whose molecule consists of a ring of six carbon atoms, each bound to one hydrogen atom and one hydroxyl group (–OH). There are nine stereoisomers, that differ by the position of the hydroxyl groups relative to the mean plane of the ring.

  7. Methanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol

    The term "methyl" was derived in about 1840 by back-formation from "methylene", and was then applied to describe "methyl alcohol". This was shortened to "methanol" in 1892 by the International Conference on Chemical Nomenclature. [29] The suffix-yl, which, in organic chemistry, forms names of carbon groups, is from the word methyl.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexanal

    Hexanal, also called hexanaldehyde or caproaldehyde is an alkyl aldehyde used in the flavor industry to produce fruity flavors. [4] Its scent resembles freshly cut grass, like cis-3-hexenal. [5]
