Alkenes are oxidized to acids by heating them with solutions of potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) or potassium dichromate (K 2Cr 2O 7).
Oxidation of alkenes
The ozonolysis of alkenes produces aldehydes that can easily be further oxidized to acids.
The oxidation of primary alcohols and aldehydes
The oxidation of primary alcohols leads to the formation of alde‐hydes that undergo further oxidation to yield acids. All strong oxidizing agents (potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate, and chromium trioxide) can easily oxidize the aldehydes that are formed. Remember: Mild oxidizing agents such as manganese dioxide (MnO 2) and Tollen's reagent [Ag(NH 3) 2 +OH −] are only strong enough to oxidize alcohols to aldehydes.
