Which of the following reagents would carry out the partial oxidation of ethanol to ethanal? 1) Chromium Trioxide 2) All of the above 3) Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) 4) Potassium permanganate 5) Sodium Dichromate
Added by Eric C.
Step 1
We need to find the reagent(s) that can perform this partial oxidation. 1) Chromium Trioxide (CrO3) is a strong oxidizing agent and can oxidize primary alcohols like ethanol to carboxylic acids, not aldehydes like ethanal. So, it is not suitable for our Show more…
