What is the product when secondary alcohol is oxidized?

ketone


What is the equation for the oxidation of a primary alcohol?

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.


What is the product when a tertiary alcohol is oxidized?

The product of oxidizing a tertiary alcohol is a ketone. Tertiary alcohols cannot be further oxidized to carboxylic acids due to the absence of a hydrogen atom on the carbon atom adjacent to the hydroxyl group.


Is camphor an aldehyde?

Camphor is a ketone.It is the oxidation product of borneol, which is a secondary alcohol. Primary alcohols when they are oxidized can either produce carboxylic acids or aldehydes. However, since borneol is secondary, it cannot be oxidized to produce an aldehyde or carboxylic acid.Secondary alcohols, on the other hand, will produce ketones. Since borneol is a secondary alcohol, it cannot be oxidized to make an aldehyde which means that camphor must be a ketone.Here is a link to the reaction that I'm talking about:http://img41.imageshack.us/i/primaryohoxidat2.png/Hope that answers your question.

What product is produced when C5H12O is oxidized?

The product produced when C5H12O is oxidized depends on the degree of oxidation applied. If fully oxidized to formic acid (HCOOH), the reaction produces 5 moles of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 6 moles of water (H2O).
