(a)
Interpretation:
Show how to prepare pentanoic acid from 1-Pentanol.
Concept introduction:
Carboxylic acid on further oxidation removes the carboxyl carbon as carbon dioxide.
Depending on the reaction conditions, the oxidation state of the remaining organic structure may be higher, lower or unchanged.
Carboxylic acid can be prepared from primary alcohol by oxidation using strong oxidizing agents like chromic acid,
(b)
Interpretation:
Show how to prepare pentanoic acid from Pentanal.
Concept introduction:
Carboxylic acid can be prepared from various ways; oxidation of aldehyde is one of the important methods to prepare carboxylic acid.
Aldehyde and
In aldehyde
In ketone
Aldehyde readily undergoes oxidation to carboxylic acids.
Tollens’ reagent is an ammoniac silver nitrate solution which can be used to detect the presence of aldehyde in an unknown compound.
As the oxidation of the aldehyde proceeds by Tollens’ reagent, silver metal is deposited on the walls of the reaction flask as a shiny mirror.
The reaction can be represented as follows,
