Please help me check if the information below is correct for both the types of reactions and the special rules or laws to predict predominant products for alcohols. If not please insert the correct information. Please make the information in jot notes.
TYPES OF REACTIONS ALCOHOL:
Dehydration: This is a reaction where an alcohol loses a water molecule to form an alkene. For example, when ethanol is treated with an acidic catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, it undergoes dehydration to form ethene (CH2=CH2) and water.
Oxidation: In this reaction, an alcohol is converted to either a carbonyl compound or a carboxylic acid. For example, primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or carboxylic acids, while secondary alcohols can be oxidized to ketones. Tertiary alcohols are not oxidized under normal conditions.
Esterification: This reaction involves the formation of an ester from an alcohol and a carboxylic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst. For example, when ethanol is…
