Because 2- methylcyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol (2 R- groups) and can be oxidized to a ketone quite easity whereas 1- methylcyclohexanol is a tertiary alcohol (3 R- groups) and is not easily oxidized. Tertiary alcohols in general are very difficult to oxidize.

Bleach is used to lighten hair. wtf http://chemistry.about.com/cs/howthingswork/a/aa101203a.htm -------------------- Bleach (usually hydrogen peroxide) mixed with ammonia, will open the shaft of the hair. The bleach will oxidize the melanin (there are two types; eumelanin and pheomelanin) and the hair will become a yellowish color (this is because it is the natural color of keratin) -do some basic research on keratin and the different types of melanin to understand why some people get that reddish/orange colour ------------------- I just want to say, bleach and ammonia mixed together, will kill you. The fumes are horrible and you will not walk out of the bathroom. NEVER MIX THEM!
