mild oxidant example
PCC (Pyridinium chlorochromate)
what does PCC oxidise
primary alcohols to aldehydes (in the presence of an acid chloride)
strong oxidant example
KMnO4, potassium permanganate (in the presence of acid acetone)
what does KMnO4 oxidise
primary alcohol to carboxylic acid
which oxidant is needed to oxidise an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid
strong oxidant
which oxidant is needed to oxidise a secondary alcohol to ketone
either mild/strong oxidant
oxidant used for dihydroxylation of an alkene
OsO4, osmium tetroxide
