Explanation of Solution
In organic chemistry, oxidation reaction is said to be decrease in
The given compound is a ketone. This has to be formed from a secondary alcohol only on oxidation. The structure of the secondary alcohol can be drawn considering the general scheme. Therefore, the structure can be given as shown below,
Structure of alcohol is drawn from which the given product is obtained by oxidation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of alcohol that could be used to prepare the given compound by oxidation reaction has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
In organic chemistry, oxidation reaction is referred to the number
In organic chemistry, reduction reaction is referred to the number
Alcohols do undergo oxidation reaction and reduction reaction. This depends upon the number of hydrogen atoms that is bonded to the alpha carbon atom. Primary and secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation reaction while tertiary alcohol does not undergo oxidation reaction. Primary alcohols undergo oxidation to give aldehyde and this id further oxidized to give carboxylic acid as product. Secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to give ketone as the product.
