Answer to Problem 5.45EP
The structural formula of the expected product is,
Explanation of Solution
Primary alcohol on oxidation gives aldehyde as intermediate product. This on further oxidation gives carboxylic acid as the product. The general scheme can be represented as shown below,
Given substance is,
This is a primary alcohol. The given compound is ethanol. Ethanol on oxidation gives ethanal as the intermediate product. The formed ethanal on oxidation gives ethanoic acid as the product. The complete scheme can be represented as shown below,
The carboxylic acid that is formed on oxidation of the given substance is ethanoic acid. The structural formula of ethanoic acid is given below,

Answer to Problem 5.45EP
The structural formula of the expected product is,
Explanation of Solution
Given substance is,
Oxidation of the alkyl side chain in a benzene derivative leads to the formation of aromatic acids. All the carbon atoms in alkyl group are lost except the one that is attached to the ring. The one carbon that is attached to the ring becomes a part of carboxyl
The product formed is benzoic acid.
