Propan-1-ol can be oxidised to propanal, CH 3 CH 2 CHO, and then to propanoic acid, CH
Question:
Propan-1-ol can be oxidised to propanal, CH3CH2CHO, and then to propanoic acid, CH3CH2COOH.
a. What reagents and conditions should be used to oxidise propan-1-ol to propanal?
b. Write a balanced chemical equation for this oxidation. Oxygen from the oxidising agent should be shown as [O].
c. What reagents and conditions should be used to oxidise propan-1-ol to propanoic acid?
d. Write a balanced chemical equation for this oxidation. Again, show oxygen from the oxidising agent as [O].
