1. Dehydration:2. Oxidation:This is a reaction where an alcohol loses a water molecule toform an alkene.For example, when ethanol is treated with an acidic catalyst,such as sulfuric acid, it undergoes dehydration to formethene (CH2=CH2) and water.ALCOHOLSIn this reaction, an alcohol is converted to either a carbonylcompound or a carboxylic acid.3. Esterification:Types of Reaction (s)For example, primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydesor carboxylic acids, while secondary alcohols can be oxidizedto ketones. Tertiary alcohols are usually not affected byoxidations4. Substitution:The conversion of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid to anester and water, in the presence of an acid catalyst.The reaction between methanol and acetic acid to formmethyl acetate: CH3OH + CH3COOH CH3COOCH3 + H2OClick to add speaker notesMESubstitution reactions in organic chemistry involve thereplacement of one atom or group of atoms with anotheratom or group of atoms in a molecule.1. Cleavage reactions:Ethers can be cleaved by strong acids, such as HBr or HI, to formalkyl halides and alcohols.2. Williamson ether synthesis:ETHERSThis is a method for the synthesis of ethers by the reaction of analkoxide ion with an alkyl halide.3. Acid-catalyzed dehydration:An ether is converted into an alkene by the elimination of a watermolecule under acidic conditions.4. Oxidation:Ethers can be oxidized with strong oxidizing agents, such asperacids or chromium reagents, to form carbonyl compounds.However, ethers are generally less prone to oxidation comparedto alcohols 1.
