Chapter 13, Problem 13.58QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{1-nonanol}$ along with its oxidation reaction has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Aldehydes and ketones are prepared by the oxidation of the corresponding alcohols.  The oxidation of a primary alcohol produces an aldehyde and the oxidation of secondary alcohol yields a ketone.  Tertiary alcohols do not undergo oxidation under the conditions normally used.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{4-methyl-1-pentanol}$ along with its oxidation reaction has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{4,6-diethyl-3-methyl-3-octanol}$ along with its oxidation reaction has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{5-bromo-4-octanol}$ along with its oxidation reaction has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
