Naming Alcohols A carbon compound that contain -OH (hydroxyl) group In IUPAC name, the -e in alkane name is replaced with -ol. CH4 methane CH3OH
methanol
(methyl alcohol)
CH3CH3 ethane LecturePLUS Timberlake CH3CH2OH ethanol
(ethyl alcohol5)
Ethanol CH3CH2OH Acts as a depressant Kills or disables more people than any other drug 12-15 mg/dL ethanol metabolized by a social drinkers in one hour 30 mg/dL ethanol metabolized by an alcoholic in one hour. LecturePLUS Timberlake
