Question

Name a reagent used to oxidise alcohol without oxidising double bonds

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxidizing Reagents among others, chromium(VI) reagents (chromium trioxide, chromic acid, chromates), manganese(IV) oxide (manganese dioxide), halogen compounds (chlorine, hypochloric acid), and dimethyl sulfoxide are commonly used as oxidizing reagents..

Answer 2

Chromium(VI) Reagent

Explanation:

Oxidizing Reagents used to oxidize alcohol without oxidizing double bonds are -

• Chromium(VI) reagent also known as chromium trioxide, chromic acid, chromates

• Manganese dioxide
• Halogen compounds like chlorine, hypochlorous acid
• Dimethyl sulfoxide

From the above-given reagents using one of the reagents in a chemical equation -

$3 CH_3CH_2OH + Cr_2O_7{^2^-} + 8H{^+}$ → $CH_3CHO + 2Cr{^3^+} + 7H_2O$
