Problems related to preparation and chemical properties of alcohols and phenols
Description:
Most questions from this chapter are concerned with the preparation reactions or conversions. You would be given a chemical to convert into a second chemical and be asked to write the whole set of chemical reactions you will undertake for the conversion.
Or you may be given the reactants of a reaction and asked to predict the product, or draw the structure of the product. Some questions show reactions with missing starting material, intermediate or reagent, and you have to identify it.
How to Approach:
Be thorough with all the preparation reactions in the chapter, the reactants, reagents, intermediates if any, and also other chemical reactions. Here's a list of the all the reactions from the chapter
