Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones is an important oxidation reaction in organic chemistry. When a secondary alcohol is oxidised, it is converted to a ketone. The hydrogen from the hydroxyl group is lost along with the hydrogen bonded to the second carbon. The remaining oxygen then double bonds with the carbon. This leaves a ketone, as R1-CO-R2. Ketones cannot normally be oxidised any further because this would involve breaking a C-C bond, which requires too much energy. The reaction can occur using a variety of oxidants.
