Answer:
Primary alcohols can be oxidized to form aldehydes and carboxylic acids; secondary alcohols can be oxidized to give ketones. Tertiary alcohols, in contrast, cannot be oxidized without breaking the molecule's C–C bonds.
Explanation:
The Grignard reaction is the only simple method available that is capable of producing primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols. To produce a primary alcohol, the Grignard reagent is reacted with formaldehyde. Reacting a Grignard reagent with any other aldehyde will lead to a secondary alcohol.
