The oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones is an important oxidation reaction in organic chemistry. Where a secondary alcohol is oxidised, it is converted to a ketone. The hydrogen from the hydroxyl group is lost along with the hydrogen bonded to the second carbon.

hey mate
your answer is :-
Secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones - and that's it. For example, if you heat the secondary alcohol propan-2-ol with sodium or potassium dichromate(VI) solution acidified with dilute sulfuric acid, propanone is formed.
hope this helps :-)
