In any fermentation process the by product is CO2. Molasses is a dark, brown coloured liquor left after the crystallization of sugar. Molasses still contain about 40% sugar. It is diluted to 10% sugar and yeast cells are added. PH is maintained at 4 by adding dilute H2SO4. Temperature is maintained between 300C and 400C. Ammonium Sulphate or Ammonium phosphate is added to yeast cells which acts as food for yeast. Yeast cells produce invertase and zymase enzyme In presence of invertase enzyme sucrose (sugar) is hydrolysed to glucose and fructose

Wash is further concentrated to the 95.6% by fractional distillation. 95.6% alcohol is called rectified spirit. 95.6 % alcohol and 4.4% water will form constant boiling mixture [azeotropic mixture] therefore it cant be further concentrated to 100% alcohol by normal distillation methods. Quicklime (CaO) or magnesium ethoxide [Mg(OC2H5)2] can be used to convert 95.6% into 100% 3

Anhydrous CaCl2 is laboratory desiccant but CaCl2 should not used for drying alcohol as if forms an addition compound with it. That addition compound is CaCl2.3C2H5OH. Fermentation of starch : Starch is present in wheat, maize, potato etc. The source of starch is crushed and treated with steam and the product is called Mash. The product is added to germinated Barley seeds which is called malt. Malt contains diastase enzyme. In presence of diastase enzyme starch is hydrolyzed to give maltose

3) Williamsons synthesis : Alkyl halides react with sodium alkoxides to produce ethers. This method is suitable for the preparation of both simple and mixed ethers.
C 2H5 Cl + NaOC 2H5 C 2H5 O C 2H5 + NaCl
Physical properties : 1) It is a colourless liquid with pleasant smell. 2) It does not form hydrogen bonds and will not exist as associated liquid. Therefore it is highly volatile, low boiling point 307.50C and it is slightly miscible with water. 3) It is inflammable. 4) Its vapours cause unconsciousness. 5) It forms explosive mixture with air [ether +O2 etherperoxide] O 110 C2H 0 C2H
In ether O is sp3 hybridised, shape is angular. Bond angle is 1100 due to the repulsions between bond pair and because of bulky nature of alkyl groups. It is slightly polar and its 0. Chemical reactions: Ethers are chemically inert because O is flanked in between two bulky alkyl groups. Therefore ethers are not easily oxidisable and they will not decolourise permanganate or dichromate. 1) - halogenation : The - hydrogens present in ether are substituted by halogen atoms.

Since the rate determining step is the formation of carbocation, the rate of dehydration is directly proportional to the formation of carbocation. Since the stability of carbocation is 30 > 20 > 10 , the order of dehydration of alcohols is ( CH 3 )3 COH > ( CH 3 )2 CHOH > CH 3 CH 2OH
Dehydration of alcohol requires 95% H 2 SO4 at H 2 SO41700 C , 20 alcohol requires 75% H 2 SO4 at 1000, where 30 as alcohol requires 5% H SO at 500 C .

Organic Chemistry II ACIDITY OF PHENOLS : The reactions of phenol with metals as well as NaOH indicate it is relatively more acidic than alcohols and also water. This is explained on the basis of the structure of phenol. The hydroxyl group in phenol is directly attached to sp 2 carbon of benzene ring. The sp 2
carbon attached to O being more electronegative than sp 3 carbon of alcohols, it decreases the electron density on oxygen. Because of this oxygen develops still more electron seeking character and releases proton by taking the shared pair of electrons with it. The acidic nature of phenol can also be explained .On the basis of resonance stabilization of phonoxide ion. Electron withdrawing groups of phenol increase the acidic nature. Electron releasing group of phenol decrease the acidity of phenols. Acidic strength increases with the decrease of the P K a values. The order of the strength of phenols is as follows
>
>
>
>
>
>

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF PHENOLS PHYSICAL : 1) Phenol has higher boiling point than the arenes or haloarenes or ethers of same molecular weight. It is due to the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bond.
2) Phenols are relatively more soluble in water due to their ability to form hydrogen bonding with water. 3) As the hydrocarbon part increases in size and mass, the solubility decreases. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES : 1) Acidic nature of phenol : Alcohols and phenols react with active metals like Na, K, Al etc to liberate hydrogen gas. 2 ROH + 2 Na 2 RONa + H 2 C6 H 5OH + 2 Na 2C6 H 5ONa + H 2 Phenols also react with aqueous NaOH solution to produce the salt sodium phenoxide and water. C6 H 5OH + NaOH C6 H 5ONa + H 2O The acidic nature of alcohols is due to the polar nature of O-H group. Electron releasing groups like alkyl groups increase the electron density on oxygen and decrease the polarity of O-H bond. This decreases the acidic strength. The order of acidic strength is H 2O > RCH 2OH > R2CHOH > R3COH 15
Organic Chemistry II
Even through the electron releasing groups like CH 3 , C2 H 5 etc decrease the acidic strength of phenol, Phenol does not liberate CO2 with Na2CO3 or NaHCO3 because phenol is weaker acidic than carbonic acid and carboxylic acids. ESTERIFICATION OF PHENOL : Phenols react with carboxylic acids and their derivatives like acid chlorides and anhydrides to form esters. This reaction (benzoylation ) is called Schotten-Baumann reaction. C6 H 5OH + RCOOH C6 H 5 O CO R + H 2O
pyridine C6 H 5OH + RCOCl C6 H 5 O CO R + HCl Salicylic acid on acetylation gives acetyl salicylic acid known as Aspirin.
