the reagents necessary to convert alcohol to ketone which involves oxidation of alcohols.
- Alcohol oxidation is a significant organic chemistry process. Secondary alcohols can be oxidized to produce ketones, while primary alcohols can be oxidized to produce aldehydes and carboxylic acids.
- In contrast, tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized without the C-C bonds in the molecule being broken.
- In order to cause primary alcohols to oxidize into aldehydes
