In organic chemistry, reduction reaction is referred to the number
Alcohols undergo oxidation reaction and reduction reaction. This depends upon the number of hydrogen atoms that is bonded to the alpha carbon atom. Primary and secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation reaction while tertiary alcohol does not undergo oxidation reaction. Primary alcohols undergo oxidation to give aldehyde and carboxylic acid as product. Secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to give ketone as the product.
Aldehyde undergoes oxidation to give carboxylic acid as the product while ketone does not undergo oxidation reaction.
Aromatic carboxylic acids are prepared from alkyl substituted benzenes.

Answer to Problem 16.46EP
The structural formula of the expected product is,
Explanation of Solution
Primary alcohol on oxidation gives aldehyde as intermediate product. This on further oxidation gives carboxylic acid as the product. The general scheme can be represented as shown below,
Given substance is,
This is a primary alcohol. The given compound is propanol. Propanol on oxidation gives propanal as the intermediate product. The formed propanal on oxidation gives propanoic acid as the product. The complete scheme can be represented as shown below,

Answer to Problem 16.46EP
The structural formula of the expected product is,
Explanation of Solution
Given substance is,
Oxidation of the alkyl side chain in a benzene derivative leads to the formation of aromatic acids. All the carbon atoms in alkyl group are lost except the one that is attached to the ring. The one carbon that is attached to the ring becomes a part of carboxyl
The product formed is benzoic acid.
Structural formula of the carboxylic acid formed by the oxidation of given substance is drawn.
