a. With nitric acid: Oxidation of ethylene glycol with concentrated nitric acid gives glycolic and
oxalic acids. The other theoretically possible oxidation products are formed in small quantities
because they are more readily oxidized than glycol itself.

Oxidation by HIO4 resulting in cleavage in carbon–carbon bond is helpful in determining the structure of
1, 2-glycols. Oxidation by HIO
is qualitatively established by the formation of a white precipitate of AgIO3

on adding silver nitrate solution to the reaction mixture. As this oxidation is almost quantitative, valuable information is obtained from the quantity of periodic acid used and nature and amount of the products formed.
14. Oxidation with lead tetraacetate: Lead tetra acetate also oxidizes 1, 2-glycols.

It is found that cis-glycols are cleaved much more readily than trans-glycols by periodic acid and lead
tetra-acetate.
15. Dehydration: Glycol undergoes dehydration to form different products depending on the conditions
and the dehydrating agent.
a. Action of heat: When ethylene glycol is heated alone at 773 K ethylene oxide is formed.

b. With anhydrous zinc chloride: On heating with dilute H2SO4 or anhydrous zinc chloride under
pressure, ethylene glycol is converted into acetaldehyde.

c. With sulphuric acid: When glycol is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid, dioxane is obtained,
Dioxane is used as an industrial solvent.
d. With phosphoric acid: It is quite interesting that a dehydrating agent like phosphoric acid gives
compounds known as polyethylene glycols. These are condensation polymers having both alcohol and ether as functional groups. These are excellent solvents for gums, resins, etc.

16. Pinacol-pinacolone rearrangement: This is a typical reaction of higher glycols involving formation
of rearranged products. It was rst observed in the case of pinacol, i.e. 2, 3-dimethyl-2, 3-butanediol
and hence the name pinacol rearrangement. It is found that on treatment with sulphuric acid, pinacol undergoes dehydration with molecular rearrangement to form methyl tert-butyl ketone, also known as pinacolone.

Many other vicinal glycols are now known to undergo similar acid-catalysed reactions. All these reac-

Uses of ethylene glycol
1. It is used as antifreeze for automobile radiators and as a coolant for aeroplane aviation petrol under
the name prestone.
2. Its ethers like cellosolve, carbitol and diglyme are excellent solvents for oils, fats, waxes, lacquers,
enamels, etc.

dacron is a polyester of ethylene glycol with terephthalic acid.
4. Glycol stearate is used as a lubricant.
5. Glyptal is obtained by condensing ethylene glycol with phthalic acid. It is used in paints and lacquers.

Glycerol is known as glycerine. It is a trihydric alcohol containing three hydroxyl groups, hence has three, active hydrogens. Two hydroxyl groups are primary alcoholic groups while third is a secondary alcoholic group. Glycerol occurs in nature in almost all animal and vegetable oils and fats in the form of glycerides (esters of glycerol and higher carboxylic acids, mainly palmitic, stearic and oleic acids).
12.10.1 Preparation
465
Glycerol is usually prepared as described below:
1. From fats: Natural fats and oils are triesters of glycerol with long chain fatty acids. In other words,
they are triacyl glycerols and are commonly known as glycerides.

Glyceryl oleo-stereo-palmitate
a. From spent lye: Hydrolysis of these fats or oils with sodium hydroxide (10% caustic soda solution
is called lye) gives sodium salts of fatty acids, which are known as soaps. The above hydrolysis reac- tion is called saponication. The process is employed for the commercial preparation of glycerol; soaps get precipitated and the mother liquor, which is known as spent lye, contains glycerol. Glyc­erol is then extracted from the spent lye.
Oil or fat
Sodium
b. From sweet lye or sweet water: When oil or fat is heated with superheated steam, fatty acids and
glycerol are liberated. On cooling, fatty acids get precipitated. The mother liquor left is known as sweet lye or sweet water and glycerol is extracted from it.

c. By transesterication of fat: Glycerol can also be obtained from fats or oils by transesterication
with methyl alcohol in the presence of an acid or a base. The reaction leads to the formation of methyl esters of acids and glycerol.

It should be noted that propylene undergoes substitution reaction when reacts with chlorine at higher
temperature 773 K.
3. Manufacture of glycerol from sugar: During the fermentation of sugar by yeast, appreciable quan-
tities of glycerol are produced along with ethyl alcohol. The proportion of glycerol in the product is considerably increased, while that of ethyl alcohol is decreased, if sodium sulphite (Na
) be added
2SO3
to the fermenting liquid. This fact is based on important process for the manufacture of glycerol. The
yield of glycerol by this method is from 15 to 60 percent of the sugar employed.
12.10.2 Physical Properties
1. It is a colourless, odourless, syrupy liquid having sweet taste. Because of three OH groups in it, glyc­erol undergoes extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This leads to high viscosity.
2. It is miscible with water (due to hydrogen bond with water), alcohol and acetone but insoluble in
ether, benzene, chloroform, etc.
3. It boils at 563 K with slight decomposition. It is puried by vacuum distillation.
4. It is heavier than water (specic gravity is 1.265).
5. Because of large number of OH groups, it forms most extensive intermolecular H-bonding as com­pared to glycol or ethanol and highest surface tension among these alcohols.
6. On cooling, glycerol forms transparent crystals, which melt at 290 K.
12.10.3 Chemical Properties
Glycerol contains two primary and one secondary alcoholic groups. It, therefore, undergoes all the reac­tions characteristic of these groups.
1. Reaction with sodium: Glycerol reacts with sodium metal to form glycerolates. At room temperature, sodium reacts with one of the primary –OH groups of glycerol to form monosodium derivative. How-
ever, at higher temperature (375 K) both the primary –OH groups react to form disodium derivative.

The negative charge on the oxygen atom in monoglycerolate repels electrons and thus decreases the
polarity of the second (1º) OH bond which requires stronger conditions for its reaction. Secondary alcoholic
group being less acidic is not attacked at all.

Glyceryl trinitrate
Nitroglycerine is one of the best explosives known to man. It was discovered by Alfred Nobel, the man
after whom the Nobel Prizes have been instituted. When two moles of HNO
are used, glyceryl dinitrate is
3
formed.
Glyceryl trinitrate is a colourless oily liquid. It explodes violently on heating or detonation. Alfred Nobel found that nitroglycerine can be stabilized by absorbing on kieselguhr (a kind of porous earth). A mixture of glyceryl trinitrate and glyceryl dinitrate absorbed on kieselguhr is called dynamite. Blasting gelatin is glycerol trinitrate + cellulose nitrate (gun cotton). Cordite is glycerol trinitrate + gun cotton + vaseline.
7. Reaction with oxalic acid:
i. When heated with oxalic acid at 383 K, it forms glycerol mono-oxalate. This loses CO2 to give
glycerol monoformate, which undergoes hydrolysis to yield formic acid.
