(a)
Interpretation: The structures for the products of the given oxidation reactions of alcohols are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Alcohols are oxidized to either
To determine: The structure for the product of the given oxidation reaction of alcohol.
(b)
Interpretation: The structures for the products of the given oxidation reactions of alcohols are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Alcohols are oxidized to either aldehyde or carboxylic acids depending upon the reaction condition. When the formation of carboxylic acids is required, primary alcohol is first oxidizing to aldehyde which is then further oxidizes to give carboxylic acids. Secondary alcohols can be oxidized into ketones and tertiary alcohols do not undergo this type of oxidation.
