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.

- 1. Dehydration: 2. Oxidation: This is a reaction where an alcohol loses a water molecule to form an alkene. For example, when ethanol is treated with an acidic catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, it undergoes dehydration to form ethene (CH2=CH2) and water. ALCOHOLS In this reaction, an alcohol is converted to either a carbonyl compound or a carboxylic acid. 3. Esterification: Types of Reaction (s) For example, primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or carboxylic acids, while secondary alcohols can be oxidized to ketones. Tertiary alcohols are usually not affected by oxidations 4. Substitution: The conversion of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid to an ester and water, in the presence of an acid catalyst. The reaction between methanol and acetic acid to form methyl acetate: CH3OH + CH3COOH CH3COOCH3 + H2O Click to add speaker notes ME Substitution reactions in organic chemistry involve the replacement of one atom or group of atoms with another atom or group of atoms in a molecule. 1.…arrow_forwardIn 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_forward2.
