Alcohols and It s derivatives

In this Lecture we try to learn the concepts of Alcohols , Ethers and Thiols with their medical applicatons.

we will studying the physical and chemical properties of alcohols and ethers, two classes of oxygen-containing organic compounds. We also study thiols, a class of sulfur containing organic compounds. Thiols are like alcohols in structure, except that they contain an -SH group rather than an -OH group.

Ethanol is the fuel additive in E85 and E15, the alcohol in alcoholic beverages, and an important Laboratory and industrial solvent. Diethyl ether was the first inhalation anesthetic used in general surgery. It is also an important laboratory and industrial solvent. Ethanethiol, like other low-molecular-weight thiols, has a stench. Traces of ethanethiol are added to natural gas so that gas leaks can be detected by the smell of the thiol.

What Are the Structures, Names, and Physical Properties of Alcohols?
In the IUPAC system, a compound containing two hydroxyl groups is named as a diol, while containing three hydroxyl groups as a triol, and so on. In IUPAC names for diols, triols, and so on, for example, 1,2-ethanediol .
