  2. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic drinks. The suffix -ol appears in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the ...

  4. Homologous series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homologous_series

    Compounds within a homologous series typically have a fixed set of functional groups that gives them similar chemical and physical properties. (For example, the series of primary straight-chained alcohols has a hydroxyl at the end of the carbon chain.) These properties typically change gradually along the series, and the changes can often be ...

  5. -ol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-ol

    The suffix –ol is used in organic chemistry principally to form names of organic compounds containing the hydroxyl (–OH) group, mainly alcohols. The suffix was extracted from the word alcohol . The suffix also appears in some trivial names with reference to oils (from Latin oleum , oil).

  6. Aromatic alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatic_alcohol

    In organic chemistry, the aromatic alcohols or aryl-alcohols are a class of chemical compounds containing a hydroxyl group (−O H) bonded indirectly to an aromatic hydrocarbon group, [1] in contrast to the phenols, where the hydroxyl group is bonded directly to an aromatic carbon atom. [2] Aromatic alcohols are produced by the yeast Candida ...

  7. Hydroxy group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxy_group

    In chemistry, a hydroxy or hydroxyl group is a functional group with the chemical formula −OH and composed of one oxygen atom covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom. In organic chemistry, alcohols and carboxylic acids contain one or more hydroxy groups.

  9. List of reagents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reagents

    is an alkaline solution of potassium permanganate; used in organic chemistry as a qualitative test for the presence of unsaturation, such as double bonds; N-Bromosuccinimide: used in radical substitution and electrophilic addition reactions in organic chemistry. Also acts as a mild oxidizer to oxidize benzylic or allylic alcohols.
