Okay, so we're just to draw the oxidation products for the following alcohols.
00:04
The first one is a two carbon alcohol.
00:10
And if we treat this with a weak oxidizing agent, like pcc or desmartin periodine, we'll get an aldehyde.
00:19
And this is the first step in oxidation for alcohol.
00:26
And if we treat this structure with potassium per magnate, we'll get a carbosyl acid.
00:37
And this is the last step in oxidation.
00:41
And it's referred to as oxidation because we'll form an extra bond to a more electroneative atom, specifically the oxygen.
00:49
So here we're forming double bonds to the oxygen.
00:53
Oxygen is more electric negative than carbon.
00:55
So it's going to shift the oxygen negativity from the carbon to the oxygen.
00:58
As a result, it's going to make this carbon atom more electrophilic...
