Choose the correct answer from the options given below: How many molecules are secondary alcohol?
- In the given reaction, the transformation involves the following: \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{OH} \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4, 413K} S_N2 \] What is the product of the reaction?
Alcohols undergo a number of reactions involving the cleavage of C – OH bond. However, phenols do not undergo reactions involving the cleavage of C – OH bond. Alcohols are weaker acids than water. Alcohols react with halogen acids to form the corresponding haloaklanes. Phenols are stronger acids than alcohols. A charac- teristic feature of phenols is that they undergo electrophilic substitution reactions such as halogenation, nitration, etc. Since –OH group is a strong activating group, phenol gives trisubstituted products during halogenation, nitration, etc.

What is Alcohol?
Alcohol is a derivative of water (H2O) that has one, two, or more hydroxyl groups that are attached to a carbon atom of a hydrocarbon chain (an alkyl group). It is one of the most common organic compounds used in sweeteners, fragrances, and medicine.

Uses of Alcohol:
- Ethanol is the alcohol used in alcoholic drinks. It can be used as an industrial methylated spirit where methanol is used very little in quantity as it can be dangerous.
- It is used as fuel to produce carbon dioxide and water by the process of fermentation. Whereas methanol burns carbon dioxide and water to facilitate combustion.
- Alcohol is an organic compound used as a solvent that is insoluble in water.
- It can be used to lower the level of sugar.
- Alcohol is used as a preservative in laboratories.
