Question
Draw the product formed by oxidation of each of the following alcohols with potassium dichromate.(a) Cyclohexanol(b) $2-$ Pentanol
Step 1
In this case, both cyclohexanol and 2-pentanol are secondary alcohols. This is because the carbon atom that carries the hydroxyl group (OH) is bonded to two other carbon atoms. Show more…
