Chapter 17, Problem 49P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product of given reactions should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Acidified potassium dichromate is a strong oxidizing agent that converts the primary alcohol to aldehyde then finally to carboxylic acid. Whereas, secondary alcohol oxidizes to ketone only. Tollens’ reagent is the alkaline solution of ammonical silver nitrate. It is an oxidizing agent that gives silver mirror with aldehydes mainly and change aldehyde to carboxylic acid.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Are the products of the given reaction correct?  Why or why not?
The question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products.  I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products.  That's the opposite of what the question was asking.  Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates").  In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?
My question is whether HI adds to both double bonds, and if it doesn't, why not?
