Minimal oxidation will produce an aldehyde, stronger oxidation will produce a carboxylic acid, and complete oxidation will produce carbon dioxide and water.

What happens when alcohol has been oxidised?

oxidation of alcohol results in the formation of various carbonyl compounds, depending upon the structure of alcohol. For example, oxidation of secondary alcohol results in the formation of ketone, while that of primary alcohol forms aldehyde and further oxidation forms carboxylic acids.


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.

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


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.


A dehydration reaction occurring between two primary alcohol molecules will produce what?
