- 1Oxidise a PRIMARY alcohol: what does it form - functional group?Aldehyde
C=O - 2Oxidise a PRIMARY alcohol: what must you do to prevent further oxidation?Distil immediately
- 3Oxidise a PRIMARY alcohol: what colour change occurs to what part of the reaction mixture?Acidified dichromate ions (potassium dichromate)

in middle of molecule (where OH group was) - 8Can you oxidise a tertiary alcohol?no
- 9Conditions for ESTERIFICATION?warm
