Oxidation of Alcohols: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary

Описание к видео Oxidation of Alcohols: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary

Primary Alcohol to Aldehyde, then Carboxylic Acid
Secondary Alcohol to Ketone
Tertiary Alcohol NO REACTION.

Oxidation is usually with potassium dichromate solution, which turns from orange to green if there's a reaction. Heat (reflux) is helpful.

You can stop the reaction at aldehyde by using "distillation".
