By simple oxidation alcohols are converted to aldehydes and further oxidation results in formation of corresponding carboxylic acids. However, in many oxidation reaction of alcohols it is very difficult to stop reaction at aldehyde stage.
You need to use an excess of the oxidising agent and make sure that the aldehyde formed as the half-way product stays in the mixture.
The alcohol is heated under reflux with an excess of the oxidising agent. When the reaction is complete, the carboxylic acid is distilled off.
