Orgo reactions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Primary alcohols can be oxidized to what? Using Na2Cr2O7 and H2SO4, CrO3 and Pyridine | Aldehydes |
| Secondary alcohols can be oxidized to what? | Ketones |
| What happens if water is present in oxidation reaction of primary alcohols? | Go all the way to carboxylic acids |
| Why are anhydrous reagents, like PCC (pyridine chlorochromide) used in aldehyde synthesis? | Because water will make aldehyde hydrates (two OH's) and go to CA. This does not occur in anhydrous environment stops at Aldehyde. |
