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 happens when alcohol has been oxidised?
