Question

How To convert
Acetone to carboxylic acid

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ketone to carboxylic acid conversion is done by the process called oxidation.

Acetone when oxidized using an oxidizing agent, will be converted to acetic acid.

The ketone group is; =C=O. The oxygen is linked by double.

The carboxylic acid is; HO-C=O. The same oxygen in double bond is retained and an OH group is added.
