Oxidation Reaction
Objective: At the end of the chapter, you should: -Know to define of the oxidation reaction.
Oxidation reaction is a process of adding oxygen to the reactants in a chemical reaction. Usually the oxidation and reduction processes running simultaneously, and this reaction known as oxidation-reduction (redox reactions)
Example: -combustion alkane with oxygen The combustion of alkanes produce carbon dioxide and water and this are the main oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons
alkanes + O2
CO2+H2O + heat
CH4 + 2O2
CO2+2H2O + heat
C4H8 + 6O2
The combustion of alkenes produce carbon dioxide and water CO2+H2O + heat 2CO2 +2H2O+ heat
oxidation alkenes with acidic potassium permanganate and acidic potassium dichromate.( Baeyer reagent)
I I C = C + MnO4
I I C - C +MnO2 I I OH OH
Example
cold KMnO4
ethene
1,2 ethandiol
The Oxidation reaction of an alcohol -Primary and secondary alcohols can be oxidized into a carbonyl compounds - 1 alcohol oxidized into aldehyde & carboxylic acid - 2 alcohol - oxidized into ketone - 3 alcohol cannot oxidized
The Oxidation reaction of Carbonyl group - Aldehyde -oxidized into carboxylic acids - ketones cannot oxidized
methanal
acidified KMnO4
metanoic acid
- Example:
The most common oxidizing agent used : acidic potassium permanganate, KMnO4 Acidic potassium dichromate, KCr2O7

Tollen reagent test is one of the identification tests of aldehyde compounds from other organic compounds. When the aldehyde compound is mixed with Tollen reagents, a silver mirror layer (silver) will produce.

Aldehydes can be easily oxidised to carboxylic acids This is the end of a two stage process that started with a primary alcohol

Ketones cannot be oxidised without the molecule being broken up. Notice the reagent: potassium dichromate
A2 Chemistry Carbonyls
Oxidation reaction is a process of adding oxygen to the reactants in a chemical reaction. Oxidation reactions of alkanes and alkenes would produce of carbon dioxide, water and heat.
Alkene reacts with a Baeyer reagent also an oxidation reaction that produces a diol compound.
Oxidation reactions of alcohol involve oxidizing agents such as acidic potassium permanganate and acidic potassium dichromate.
Oxidation reaction of primary alcohols will produce aldehydes and aldehyde will further oxidized to carboxylic acids.
Oxidation reaction of secondary alcohol will produce ketones. Ketone cannot be oxidized further to carboxylic acids.
Other oxidizing agents of an aldehyde are ammonium silver nitrate solution also known as Tollen reagents .
Organometallic Compounds
Carbon-metal bonds vary widely in character from mostly covalent to mostly ionic depending on the metal
The greater the ionic character of the bond, the more reactive the compound
Organopotassium compounds react explosively with water and burst into flame when exposed to air

Grignard Reagents
Grignard reagents are prepared by the reaction of organic halides with magnesium turnings
An ether solvent is used because it forms a complex with the Grignard reagent which stabilizes it
