Question
A mercurinium (“mer-cur-in-ee-um”) intermediate is formed when creating these compounds from alkenes in the oxymercuration reaction. These compounds are deprotonated before attacking an alkyl halide to produce an ether in the Williamson synthesis. Sodium borohydride can be used to reduce an aldehyde to these compounds’ “primary” type. Distilling one of these compounds that has two carbons from water is complicated by the formation of an azeotrope containing 96% of that compound and 4% water. A common disinfectant contains 70% of these molecules’ “isopropyl” type. For 10 points, name these organic compounds that contain an -OH (“O-H”) group, like ethanol. ■END■
ANSWER: alcohols [accept hydroxyl; prompt on -OH before mentioned]
