Alcohols/Phenols
Compounds containing a hydroxyl group connected to an sp3 hybridized carbon.
What are alcohols?
Ethers with two different alkyl groups.
What are unsymmetrical ethers?
Is the name of a three-membered cyclic ether aka epoxide.
What is oxirane?
This ratio is used to separate and detect the molecular ion/cation fragments in mass spectrometry.
What is the mass to charge ratio? (M/Z)
A reagent that produces carbon nucleophiles from the reaction of an alkyl halide with magnesium.
What are Grignard reagents?
Trimethylsilyl groups can be used as ________ to circumvent the problem of alcohol reactivity and be removed after the desired reaction has been performed.
What are protecting groups?
The term used to identify the ether group as a side chain or substituent?
What is alkoxy?

Provide the mechanism and product for the following reaction provided by the show's host.
The bombardment of the sample with high energy electrons to generate a radical cation symbolized by M+.
What is electron impact?
Sulfur analogs the contain an SH group rather than an OH group. Dr. Drake's favorite functional group.
What is a thiol?
These reagents are used to react primary alcohol to give a carboxylic acid.
What are aqueous oxidants?
These reactions can prepare ethers from alkenes resulting in a the Markovnikov addition of RO and H across an alkene.
What is aloxymercuration-demercuration via alcohols?
Alkenes are converted immediately into epoxides through the use of this reagent.
What is MCPBA?
The region which contains all signals that arise from double bonds, triple bonds, and X-H bonds in IR.
What is the diagnostic region?
It is what determines if a molecule is IR active.
What is molecular polarity (Dipoles)?
Alcohols are formed when treating carbonyl carbons with this reagent.
What are reducing agents?
The number of carbons in MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether)
What is five?
The dominant factor in primary vs. tertiary epoxide ring opening.
What is the electronic effect?
The study of the interaction between light and matter.
What is spectroscopy?

Alcohols and phenols are commonly deprotonated with sodium hydride or these family of elements.
What are alkali metals?
This occurs when ethers are treated with a strong acid?
What is acidic cleavage?
Is the condition when an epoxide ring openings regiochemical outcomes are dependent on the competition of electronic vs steric effects.
What is acid catalyzed?
Is the energy type activated in infrared spectroscopy.
What is vibrations energy (modes)?
Cyclic polyethers that are capable of solvating metal ions in organic (nonpolar) solvents.
