Minimal oxidation will produce an aldehyde, stronger oxidation will produce a carboxylic acid, and complete oxidation will produce carbon dioxide and water.
primary alcohols become produce aldehydes when oxidized and carboxylic acid upon further oxidation. secondary alcohol oxidation produces ketone. while tertiary alcohols has no reaction except if combustion is applied.
Oxidation of a primary alcohol results in an Aldahyde, 2 molecules of primary alcohol oxidized results in an ether, oxidization of a secondary alcohol end product is a ketone. Oxidation of a primary alcohol results in an Aldahyde, 2 molecules of primary alcohol oxidized results in an ether, oxidization of a secondary alcohol end product is a ketone.
The product of the oxidation of a primary alcohol is a carboxylic acid.
The primary organ involved in metabolizing alcohol is the liver.
Aldehyde
aldehyde
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.
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.
if the alcohol is a primary alcohol the itis oxidized to give aldehyde and if secondary it gives ketone.
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
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 between two primary alcohol molecules will produce water as a byproduct, along with an ether compound.
