(a)
Interpretation: The structures for the products of the given oxidation reactions of alcohols are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Alcohols are oxidized to either
To determine: The structure for the product of the given oxidation reaction of alcohol.
(b)
Interpretation: The structures for the products of the given oxidation reactions of alcohols are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Alcohols are oxidized to either aldehyde or carboxylic acids depending upon the reaction condition. When the formation of carboxylic acids is required, primary alcohol is first oxidizing to aldehyde which is then further oxidizes to give carboxylic acids. Secondary alcohols can be oxidized into ketones and tertiary alcohols do not undergo this type of oxidation.

- Please provide the reagents, reactants, and/or the products for the following reactions.arrow_forwardWhen benzene enters the body, it is oxidized to phenol (C 6H 5OH). What is the purpose of this oxidation reaction?arrow_forwardBriefly describe the preparation of alcohols from ketones, and the preparation of alcohols from esters, each using the same Grignard reagent CH3CH2MgCl. Show an example reaction equation involving your own chosen ketone and ester molecules,respectively, to illustrate your descriptionarrow_forward
- In organic chemistry, oxidation reactions A transform aldehydes into ketones B decrease the oxidation number of the elements involved C increase the number of carbon-oxygen bonds D) convert ketones into carboxylic acids E produce aldehydes from secondary alcoholsarrow_forward1,3-Propanediol, HOCH₂CH₂CH₂OH, is a diol used as a building block in the production of polymers for use in adhesives and coatings. Draw the condensed structure of the most oxidized product formed after the oxidation of 1,3-propanediol.arrow_forward2. An unknown organic compound has the molecular formula C4H&O. It resists oxidation and it can be reduced with H2 to form an alcohol. Draw the structure for the compound and write equations for the reactions described. Name the reactant and product. 3.
