Question

how will you convert ethanol to ethanal​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ethanol OP bolte

Answer 2

Ethanol is converted to ethanal by reacting with a mild oxidizing agent.

• Some of the mild oxidizing agents are - Collins reagent, pyridinium chlorochromate, and pyridinium dichromate.
• The oxidation reaction of ethanol to ethanal is a type of elimination reaction.
• Ethanol having C-O single bond is converted to a compound with a carbon oxygen double bond.
• For conversion to ethanal, ethanol is reacted with a mild oxidizing agent as a strong oxidizing agent converts ethanol to ethanoic acid.

Conversion of ethanol to ethanal using collins reagent.

• The chemical formula of the Collins reagent is C₁₀H₁₀CrN₂O₃
• it is a complex of Chromium oxide with pyridine.
• It is used to convert primary alcohols to primary acetaldehyde.

(Collins reagent)

CH₃-CH₂-OH --------------------> CH₃-CHO

Conversion of ethanol to ethanal using pyridinium chlorochromate

• The chemical formula of pyridinium chlorochromate is C₅H₅NH]+[CrO₃Cl]-
• This reagent offers the advantage of selective oxidation of alcohol to aldehydes.
