Principles of General, Organic, Biological Chemistry, Chapter 12, Problem 12.67AP

Concept introduction:

Oxidation of alcohol:

During oxidation of alcohol, the number of C-O bonds gets increased on product side and C-H bond gets decreased on reactant side. In the oxidation reaction, reaction takes place between carbon attached to hydrogen atom and carbon attached to OH group and finally C-O bond is formed leading to H2 removal from the reactant. Oxidation of an alcohol gives different products depending upon the type of alcohols and reagents take part in a reaction. Oxidation of alcohols give carbonyl group in the product side. In a primary alcohol, among the two C-H bonds present, the first C-H bond gets oxidized into aldehyde group and then further it gets oxidized into carboxylic acid group. In case of the secondary alcohol, only the one C-H bond present is oxidized into ketones. For tertiary alcohol, there are no hydrogen atoms present and therefore, tertiary alcohols are not been able to be oxidized.
