What classification of alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone?
A secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone; a primary alcohol forms an aldehyde instead, and a tertiary alcohol usually does not form either a ketone or an alcohol, because the carbon having the OH group in a tertiary alcohol already has three bonds to other carbon atoms and therefore cannot form a double bond to oxygen without more extensive breaking of other bonds in the tertiary alcohol.
What is removed in oxidation of alcohol?
OIL RIG. Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain (of electrons, or of Hydrogen) Oxidation is gain of oxygen, reduction is loss of oxygen. In answer to your question, oxidation of a primary alkanol (alcohol) gives you an alkanal or aldehyde, and what is removed is an atom of H.
When a primary alcohol is strongly oxidized the product?
The product of the oxidation of a primary alcohol is a carboxylic acid.
What functional group can you get after the oxidation of a hydroxyl group?
After the oxidation of a hydroxyl group, you can obtain a carbonyl group.
What is ch3chch2ch3oh after oxidation?
This is an alcohol, and there are 2 stages of oxidation. First, it will be oxidized to the aldehyde, and then further oxidation will produce the acid.(1) CH3CH2CH2CH=O (2) CH3CH2CH3COOH
