Alcohols in Organic Chemistry - A comprehensive guide covering nomenclature, properties, and structural analysis of alcohols and their derivatives.
- Nomenclature (Nomenklatur) of alcohols follows IUPAC rules with specific focus on hydroxyl group positioning
- Structural properties include primary, secondary, and tertiary classifications based on carbon chain arrangement
- Key functional groups include hydroxyl (-OH), carbonyl (C=O), and carboxyl (-COOH)
- Chemical characteristics vary with carbon chain length, affecting properties like solubility and boiling point
- Applications range from industrial uses to everyday products
