Oxidising alcohols to form a carbonyl
Primary and secondary alcohols are oxidised by common oxidising agents such as potassium manganate(VII), KMnO4, or acidified sodium dichromate(VI), Na2Cr2O7.
Oxidation and reduction reactions
Reactions in which both oxidation and reduction occur are called redox reactions. The acronym OILRIG might be familiar, reminding us
