New cards

Oxidation of primary alcohols

Potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) or Potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇)

  • if the oxidant is limited then the reaction will produce an aldehyde

  • If oxidant in excess oxidation goes to completion producong a carboxylic acid → COOH

2
New cards

Oxidation of secondary alchols

If a secondary alcohol is oxidised by Potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) or Potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇)

  • turn into ketone

3
New cards

have no reaction

New cards

Combustion of organic compounds
