Chapter 16, Problem 42P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product formed in the reaction of ${\text{K}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Cr}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{7}}$ with the following structure needs to be determined.

  

Concept Introduction:

Potassium dichromate is a good oxidizing agent and it has the tendency to oxidize alcohols to aldehydes and aldehydes to carboxylic acids as well. An oxidizing agent is a chemical species which has the tendency to oxidize other to possible higher oxidation states by making them loose electron and thus itself gets reduced.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The product formed in the reaction of y13 ${\text{K}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Cr}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{7}}$ with the following aldehyde needs to be determined.

Y13 ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{{\text{(CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{)}}_8\text{CHO}$
