OC-05: Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers
|
├── OC-06: Aldehydes & Ketones
│ └── 1° alcohol --[PCC]--> aldehyde (feeds into carbonyl chemistry)
│ └── 2° alcohol --[PCC]--> ketone (same)
│
├── OC-07: Carboxylic Acids
│ └── 1° alcohol --[$KMnO_{4}$]--> carboxylic acid (final oxidation product)
│ └── Fischer esterification: RCOOH + R'OH → ester
│
├── OC-02/03: Reaction Mechanisms
│ └── Williamson = SN2 mechanism
│ └── Lucas test = SN1 mechanism (3° > 2°)
│ └── Saytzeff rule = E2 mechanism (competing with SN2)
│
├── OC-08: Benzene / Aromatic Chemistry
│ └── Phenol = activated benzene for EAS
│ └── -OH as ortho/para director
│
└── Physical Chemistry: Acid-Base
└── pKa values: phenol (10) < water (15.7) < alcohol (16-18)
└── Resonance stabilization = equilibrium shift toward products
Cross-Chapter Principle: The carbocation stability order (3° > 2° > 1°) appears in ALL these chapters — Lucas test, dehydration ease, SN1 rate, and Markovnikov's rule all trace back to the same principle.
