Reactions of alcohols
Reactions with oxygen
increasingly important complete combustion
produce water and carbon dioxide
reacts with oxygen
Oxidation
adding oxygen
lost of hydrogen
lost of electron
oxidising primary alcohols
alcohol --> aldehyde --> carboxylic acid
reaction conditions
alcohol --> aldehyde
distil product
ch3oh + [o] --> Ch2O(with carbon double bond) + h2o
turn OH into HO
alcohol --> carboxylic acid
reflux
acid catalyst must be used
Ch3oh + 2[o] --> chcooh + h2o
aldehyde --> carboxylic
just adding oxygen
oxidising secondary alcohols
alcohol --> ketone
c3h7oh + [o] --> ch3ch3CO + h2o
oxidising tertiary alcohols
