Phenols Lab 4
Phenols • Phenols are compounds that have a hydroxyl group directly attached to a benzene ring • Hydroxy benzene = phenol
Properties • phenols are polar due to the ability to form hydrogen bond • phenols are water soluble • Phenol can dissolve in NaoH • Phenolsare more acidic than alcoholsbut less acidic than Carboxylic acids.
Uses & toxicity • Early uses for phenol was as an antiseptic. • Phenol is used as a starting material to make plastics, explosives such as picric acid, and drugs such as aspirin. • Toxic, harmful and corrosive • Skin burns
Phenols Phenol Resorcinol Catechol
General test • FeCL3 test : • Few mg of Phenols dissolve in water + 1-2 drop of FeCL3 • Results: • Phenol = violet color • Resorcinol = violet color • Catechol = Green color
General test • FeCL3 test • Results: • Phenol Resorcinol Catechol violet color violet color Green color
GENERAL TEST • Azo – dye formation test (( Diazotization test)) • drop aniline (red color) + dil.HCl (until dissolve) + NaNO2 (sod. Nitrite solution) = until faint pale yellow color - PUT IN ICE • Few phenol + 10% NaOH (until phenol dissolved) • Add (1) on (2) gradually
GENERAL TEST • Result : • Phenol = ((Azo – dye formation))Orange – red color or ppt • Resorcinol = ((Azo – dye formation))Orange – red color or ppt • Catechol = No azo – dye form {Decomposition, dark purple color}
GENERAL TEST • Azo – dye formation test (( Diazotization test)) Phenol Resorcinol ((Azo – dye formation))Orange – red color or ppt Catechol No azo – dye form {Decomposition, dark purple color}
SPESIFIC TEST • Phthalein test : • Few mg of Phenol + phatalic anhydride + 4 drops con.H2SO4 cool = then pour it in beaker contain 20 ml of 10%NaOH
SPESIFIC TEST • Phenol = Pink color • Resorcinol = Green fluorescence added water = fluorescence • Catechol = Blue color
