00:01 Dear students, the question is alcohol which cannot be oxidized to a ketone by chromic acid is whether 2 -pentanol or cyclohexanol or 3 -methyl 2 -butanol or 3 -pentanol or 2 -methal 2 -butanol.
00:15 Let us see.
00:16 We know alcohols are of 3 types, primary, secondary and tertiary.
00:27 Primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes.
00:33 Secondary alcohols can be oxidized to ketones.
00:37 Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized, they are oxidized to alkin's.
00:43 Tertiary alcohol generally oxidized to alkins by dehydrogenation.
00:48 Now, here our question is the alcohol that cannot be oxidized to a ketone will be either primary alcohol or a tertiary alcohol.
00:57 Now let us see here 2 -pentanol...
