Question

Carboxylic acids may be prepared by oxidation of either​

Answer 1

Answer:

Both primary and secondary alcohols can be oxidised to carboxylic acids. ... 2. Carboxylic acids can be made from nitriles by hydrolysis.

Answer 2

Carboxylic acids may be prepared by oxidation of either​  Aldehydes or primary alcohols.

• Alcohols can be oxidized or acid nitriles, chlorides, or esters can be reduced to generate aldehydes.
• On ozonolysis, aldehydes can be made from properly substituted alkenes.
• Aldehydes can be made in a variety of ways, but one of the most efficient is through the oxidation of primary alcohols.
