The 37 pages that link to Hydroxyl group, each with the reason it gives.

• Carboxylic acidBroader topic: Its O–H bond supplies the proton that carboxylic acids can donate.

• Carbonyl groupCompared with: Hydroxyl groups contain oxygen but lack the carbon–oxygen double bond defining carbonyls.

• AlcoholRelated: Its attachment to saturated carbon defines the alcohol functional group.

• GlycerolRelated: Three hydroxyl groups give glycerol its strong interactions with water.

• HydroxideCompared with: Unlike hydroxide, a hydroxyl group is not by itself a free anion.

• Carboxyl groupBroader topic: The hydroxyl is attached to the carbonyl carbon in a carboxyl group.

• Dehydration reactionRelated: The hydroxyl group supplies the oxygen and hydrogen removed as water from an alcohol.

• Hydroxyl radicalCompared with: The radical is a free species, not the bonded functional group.

• Sugar alcoholRelated: Multiple hydroxyl groups give sugar alcohols their characteristic polyol structure.

• GoethiteRelated: Hydroxyl groups are part of goethite’s chemical formula and crystal structure.

• Boric acidBroader topic: Three hydroxyl groups surround boron in the molecular structure of H₃BO₃.

• Lunar waterRelated: Lunar spectra can detect hydroxyl-bearing material without proving that free water ice is present.

• LuteinRelated: Lutein's hydroxyl groups distinguish it structurally from carotenes and affect its membrane orientation.

• SerineRelated: Serine’s side-chain hydroxyl makes it polar and chemically reactive.

• SterolRelated: Its polar hydroxyl group gives sterols a water-interacting end.

• Propylene glycolBroader topic: Two hydroxyl groups make propylene glycol strongly interactive with water.

• Amino groupCompared with: It is a common polar functional group with oxygen, contrasting with amino groups’ nitrogen-centered chemistry.

• Fatty alcoholRelated: This group gives fatty alcohols their alcohol identity and polar character.

• BiotiteRelated: Hydroxyl groups occur in biotite’s structure and can be replaced during alteration.

• ThreonineRelated: Threonine's hydroxyl group makes its side chain polar and capable of hydrogen bonding.

• CyclohexanolBroader topic: This group defines cyclohexanol's alcohol character and its hydrogen-bonding behavior.

• Stearyl alcoholBroader topic: Stearyl alcohol’s terminal hydroxyl group gives its long hydrocarbon chain a polar end.

• 1-PropanolRelated: This group attached to carbon 1 defines 1-propanol’s alcohol structure.

• AluniteRelated: Hydroxyl groups are essential constituents of alunite’s chemical formula.

• DiolBroader topic: Each diol contains exactly two of these groups.

• Fused quartzRelated: Hydroxyl content affects fused silica’s infrared absorption and ultraviolet transmission.

• Geminal diolRelated: A geminal diol contains two hydroxyl groups attached to one carbon.

• HydroxylamineRelated: The N–O bond places a hydroxyl group directly on hydroxylamine’s nitrogen.

• Graphite oxideRelated: Hydroxyl groups contribute to graphite oxide’s affinity for water.

• HydrophileBroader topic: Its oxygen and hydrogen participate in hydrogen bonding with water.

• Polypropylene glycolRelated: Hydroxyl end groups make many polypropylene glycols reactive toward polyurethane-forming compounds.

• ResorcinolRelated: Two hydroxyl groups give resorcinol its characteristic chemical behavior.

• 1-HexanolRelated: This functional group occupies the end of 1-hexanol’s carbon chain.

• 1-OctanolBroader topic: This group defines 1-octanol's alcohol chemistry and distinguishes it from octane.

• DodecanolRelated: This functional group distinguishes dodecanol from the corresponding alkane.

• Serpentine subgroupRelated: Hydroxyl groups occupy structural sites in serpentine minerals.

• tert-Butyl alcoholBroader topic: This group defines tert-butanol as an alcohol and enables hydrogen bonding.
