Question

Which of these reagents will oxidize ketones to acid?

Answer 1

The PCC and Swern oxidation conditions can both also be used to oxidize secondary alcohols to ketones. Silver ion, Ag(I), is often used to oxidize aldehydes to carboxylic acid. Two common reaction conditions are: The set of reagents in the latter reaction conditions are commonly known as 'Tollens' reagent'

Answer 2

the bayer villiger oxidation is the oxidative cleavage of a carbon carbon bond adjacent to a carbonyl which converts ketones to esters and cyclic ketones to lectons.
