The product of the oxidation of a primary alcohol is a carboxylic acid.
When l-propanol (1-propanol) is oxidized, the expected product is propanal, which is an aldehyde. This oxidation typically occurs through the addition of an oxidizing agent, such as potassium dichromate or chromic acid. If the oxidation continues, propanal can further oxidize to form propanoic acid, but the primary product from the initial oxidation of l-propanol is propanal.
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).
Cyclohexanone can be oxidized to adipic acid.
reducing a carboxylic acid directly forms an aldehyde, but further reduction forms a primary alcohol reducing a ketone forms a secondary alcohol oxidation reverses these processes primary alcohol -> aldehyde -> carboxylic acid secondary alcohol -> ketone
Butan-1-ol, which is a primary alcohol, will be oxidised to butanoic acid. Butan-2-ol, which is a secondary alcohol, will be oxidised to butanone.
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.
ketone
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.
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.
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.
