Question

The reduction of ketone groups, such as those present on coq, produces alcohols. in contrast, oxidation of aldehydes produces which functional group?

Answer 1

On oxidation of aldehydes produces carboxylic acid functional group.

The product of oxidation of aldehydes depends upon whether the reaction occur in acidic medium or alkaline condition.

If oxidation of aldehydes occurs under acidic condition the product is carboxylic acid but if oxidation of aldehydes occurs under alkaline condition then reduce as well as oxidized product obtained which is known as disproportional product.

The  oxidation of aldehydes occur through potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate or many more. The oxidation of aldehydes in the presence of base is known as cannizzaro's reaction.
