Funktioalkoolien
Funktioalkoolien, often translated as functional alcohols, is a term used in chemistry to describe alcohols that possess specific functional groups or exhibit properties beyond their simple alcoholic nature. These compounds are characterized by the presence of one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a carbon atom, which is itself bonded to other atoms. However, the term "funktioalkoolien" emphasizes their role or behavior in chemical reactions and their utility in various applications due to their particular structure.
These functional alcohols can be categorized based on the number of hydroxyl groups they contain, such as
Beyond these basic classifications, "funktioalkoolien" can also refer to alcohols with additional functional groups, such as
