GoH:OH Classification of ‘Alcohol- 1. Alcohols and phenols may be classified as ~ B Monohydric alcohol- Contains one -O group only .Eg- Dinydricalcohol- Contains two -OH group FgBlycol ‘Trihydric alcohol- Contains three -OH group Eg- glycerol polyhydric alcohol- Contains more than three -OH group Eg: sorbitol 2. n the basis of the nature of the carbon to which -OH atom is attached, hydroxl derivatives are classified as 1°, 2% 3° allylic, benzyl; vinylic and aryl derivatives. For example: “On the basis ofthe nature of the carbon to which -OH atom is attached- Compounds containing sp?C-X bond- 2» and 3° alcohol: hydroxyl atom is bonded to primary, secondary or tertiary carbon atom of an alkyl group. te OH oH 1+ ae Dae ee a bk be mama *Gisoma > “ages!” > Allylic alcohol: -OH atom is bonded t: 'o an sp?-hybri to carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) ie. oat ye acai oy PRIYANKA SINGHAL 8160743860 c sono x
