Chapter 27
Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers
Wine, rubbing alcohol, the antiseptic smell of a clinic, the aspirin in a cabinet and the solvent in a school laboratory all belong to one family: carbon compounds with an oxygen atom bonded to carbon. In this chapter you learn how alcohols are named and made, why they boil so high, how they and phenols react, and how ethers are made, cleaved and used safely. It serves the Indian syllabus (NCERT, NEET, JEE Main) and the matching topics of A-Level, IB and AP Chemistry. Python counts isomers and works out yields.
