16.1.2.8 formation of esters by reaction with carboxylic acids and concentrated or as catalyst as exemplified by ethanol
16.1.3.1 classify alcohols as primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols, to include examples with more than one alcohol group
16.1.3.2 state characteristic distinguishing reactions, e.g. mild oxidation with acidified K2Cr2O7, colour change from orange to green
16.1.4 deduce the presence of a group in an alcohol, , from its reaction with alkaline (aq) to form a yellow precipitate of tri-iodomethane and an ion,
16.1.5 explain the acidity of alcohols compared with water
17.1.1.1 the oxidation of primary alcohols using acidified and distillation to produce aldehydes
17.1.1.2 the oxidation of secondary alcohols using acidified or acidified and distillation to produce ketones
17.1.2.1 the reduction of aldehydes and ketones, using to produce alcohols
17.1.2.2 the reaction of aldehydes and ketones with HCN, KCN as catalyst, and heat to produce hydroxynitriles exemplified by ethanal and propanone
17.1.3 describe the mechanism of the nucleophilic addition reactions of hydrogen cyanide with aldehydes and ketones in 17.1.2(b)
17.1.4 describe the use of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH reagent) to detect the presence of carbonyl compounds
17.1.5 deduce the nature (aldehyde or ketone) of an unknown carbonyl compound from the results of simple tests (Fehling’s and Tollens’ reagents; ease of oxidation)
17.1.6 deduce the presence of a – group in an aldehyde or ketone, , from its reaction with alkaline (aq) to form a yellow precipitate of tri-iodomethane and an ion,
