| Air and Water Reactions: | Water insoluble. | Reactive Group: | Alcohols and Polyols |
| Reactivity Profile: | Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. They exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. |
