Alcohols
Primary Alcohols
- RCH2OH
- RCHO + H2O
- RCOOH
- Carboxylic Acid
- Aldehyde
- Using Schiff Reagent if it turns magenta quickly it's an aldehyde
- RCOOH
- RCHO + H2O
- Heated under reflux with excess KCr2 and H2So4
- reflux prevents aldehyde from escaping before it can oxidise to a carboxylic acid
- excess KCr2 ensure there's enough agent to fully oxidise to COOH
- distilled will give an aq. solution
- excess KCr2 ensure there's enough agent to fully oxidise to COOH
- reflux prevents aldehyde from escaping before it can oxidise to a carboxylic acid
- RCH2OH
Secondary Alcohols
- RCHOH
- RCOR + H20
- Ketone
- RCOR + H20
- RCHOH
Tertiary Alcohols
- RCOH
Oxidising agent
- Potassium Dichromate
- (Cr2O7)2-
- Turns from orange to green
- Potassium Dichromate
Test for alkenes
- Add Bromine Water and if turns colourless it is an alkene as alkanes can't add to their structure.
