Organic chemistry: Oxidation of alcohols I: Mechanism and oxidation states
Description
Oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes (and then carboxylic acids); oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones.
Organic chemistry
Sal and Jay cover topics covered in college organic chemistry course. Basic understanding of basic high school or college chemistry assumed (although there is some review).
Reactions of alcohols
In this tutorial, Jay assigns oxidation states to alcohols, shows an oxidation mechanism using the Jones reagent, shows the formation of nitrate esters from alcohols, and demonstrates how to make alkyl halides from alcohols. Biochemical redox reactions are also discussed.
