Question

how will you distinguish 1°.2°.and3°.alchol on the basis of oxidation reaction
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Primary alcohols (R-CH2-OH) can be oxidized either to aldehydes (R-CHO) or to carboxylic acids (R-CO2H), while the oxidation of secondary alcohols (R1R2CH-OH) normally terminates at the ketone (R1R2C=O) stage. Tertiary alcohols (R1R2R3C-OH) are resistant to oxidation.

Answer 2

Answer:

1° means the -OH group is

attached to 1° carbon( attached to one other C atom)

lly, 2°means -OH group attached to 2° C and3°means it is attached to 3° carbon atom.

we can explain it in another way but it's easier
