Alcohols & Phenols

= Alcohols = Alcohols can be prepared by hydration of Alkenes, Hydrolysis of Alkyl halides , Oxidation of Ketones / Aldehydes , From Grignard's Reagent , Hydroboration - Oxidation.

Alcohols undergo Oxidation, Esterification , Reactions with Metals , HCl , HBr , HI , PCl3 , PCl5, SOCl2.

Chemical Reactions
= Phenols = Phenol is Carbolic Acid.

Phenols are prepared by Dow Process, Raschig Process , Diazotization and from Cumene.

Phenols undergo Halogenation, Sulphonation , Nitration , Kolbe's Reaction , Riemer - Tiemann Reaction , Zinc dust reaction , Oxidation.
