Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The suitable oxidizing agents are to be suggested for oxidation of given alcohols.
Concept introduction:
When alcohol undergoes oxidation, it yields a carbonyl compound. Depending on the type of alcohol and the oxidizing agent, the carbonyl compound can be aldehyde, a
Primary alcohols are oxidized either to an aldehyde or to a carboxylic acid. When oxidation is carried out in anhydrous medium,
By using the same reagents that oxidize primary alcohol, secondary alcohols oxidized to form ketone.
Tertiary alcohols cannot readily oxidize because they do not have
