Concept Introduction:
A
In a chemical reaction, the substance which is involved in conversion is said to be reactant whereas the newly formed substance is known as a product. Both reactants and products must be separated by an arrow.
The oxidation reaction is the reaction that involves the addition of O atom in the presence of certain oxidizing agents such as
Answer to Problem 14.70P
Explanation of Solution
To get the oxidized product of any alcohol, three steps must be followed:
- Locate the C atom in the parent chain that is bonded with −OH group.
- Convert that C atom to carbonyl C atom or carboxylic acid as it is overall removal of H atoms.
- Primary alcohols are oxidized to
aldehyde which further oxidized to a carboxylic acid. - Secondary alcohols are oxidized to
ketone (R2CO). - Tertiary alcohols are not oxidized as they do not have H atom on the C with the −OH group.
Hence, the oxidized of 2-methylcyclopnetanol will form 2-methylcyclopentanone molecule as 2-methylcyclopnetanol is a secondary alcohol.

Answer to Problem 14.70P
2-ethyl-3-pentanol cannot oxidize as it is a tertiary alcohol.
Explanation of Solution
To get the oxidized product of any alcohol, three steps must be followed;
- Locate the C atom in the parent chain that is bonded with −OH group.
- Convert that C atom to carbonyl C atom or carboxylic acid as it is the overall removal of H atoms.
- Primary alcohols are oxidized to aldehyde which further oxidized to the carboxylic acid.
- Secondary alcohol is oxidized to ketone (R2CO).
- Tertiary alcohols are not oxidized as they do not have H atom on the C with the −OH group.
Hence 2-ethyl-3-pentanol cannot oxidize as it is a tertiary alcohol.
