Alcohols
- The alcohol functional group is the simplest of the carbon-oxygen functional groups.
- "R" represents carbon chains attached to the functional group. We connect an R to an OH.
Alcohol groups are found on sugars and take part in both ring-forming reactions and the condensation reactions that create biological polymers such as proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
