#8). 

### Drawing the Major Organic Product of the Reaction In this exercise, you are required to draw the major organic product formed in the reaction shown below: #### Reaction Scheme: - **Reactant:** Benzyl alcohol (a benzene ring attached to a CH2OH group) - **Reagents:** Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and water (H2O) #### Instruction Notes: - **No Stereochemistry Consideration:** There is no need to consider stereochemistry in your drawing. - **Explicit Hydrogen Atoms Unnecessary:** You are not required to explicitly draw hydrogen atoms in your structure. - **Lone Pairs Not Required:** Do not include lone pairs in your answer, as they will not be assessed. --- ### Diagram Explanation **Graphical Interface:** Below the instructions is an interactive drawing tool (ChemDoodle) with various options for drawing chemical structures. - **Toolbox Icons:** On the top of the drawing interface, there is a series of tool icons for selecting different drawing tools (e.g., bonds, rings, atoms). - **Drawing Area:** This is the main area where you can draw the chemical structure of the major organic product. The tools provided include: - **Hand Tool:** Allows you to move objects. - **Selection Tool:** Enables the selection of structures or part of structures. - **Erase and Undo Tools:** For making corrections. - **Zoom and Rotate tools:** For adjusting the view of the structure. A question mark (?) icon is available for additional help on using the ChemDoodle interface. ### Drawing Your Answer Use these tools to draw the structure of the major organic product formed in the reaction of benzyl alcohol with potassium dichromate in acidic medium. --- **Note:** Commonly, potassium dichromate in acidic conditions oxidizes primary alcohols to carboxylic acids. Therefore, the major organic product for this reaction should be benzoic acid (a benzene ring attached to a COOH group).
