The structures of aldehyde or ketones that can be prepared by the oxidation of given alcohols are to be written. Concept Information: The oxidation reaction can occur because of the loss of electrons, the gain of oxygen and the loss of hydrogen. After the oxidation alcohols can be converted into aldehydes , ketone, and further oxidation of aldehydes converts them into carboxylic acid . On a daily basis we can see many oxidation reactions like rusting of iron, combustion and rancidity. The oxidation of alcohols leads to the formation aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acid depending upon the primary, secondary, and tertiary structure of the alcohols. The oxidation of alcohols occurs in the presence of oxidizing agents. Primary alcohol oxidises to aldehydes, secondary alcohol to ketones and tertiary alcohol do not react because of the absence of the removable H atom on the carbon bearing hydroxyl group.

Solution Summary: The author explains the structures of aldehyde or ketones that can be prepared by the oxidation of given alcohols.
Definition Definition Group of atoms that shape the chemical characteristics of a molecule. The behavior of a functional group is uniform in undergoing comparable chemical reactions, regardless of the other constituents of the molecule. Functional groups aid in the classification and anticipation of reactivity of organic molecules.
