My problem is to describe the reason why a primary alcohol with
PDC in Methylenechloride is oxidized to the aldehyde, but in DMF further to the Acid. Would the only reason be that DMF is hygroscopic and contents usally some water to give the aldehydehydrate?
Hi, Denis is my name.
Study chemistry in Germany. Have to know the mechanism of the
reoxidation to TPAP by NMO after TPAP has oxidized an alcohol.
Could you help me? Thx, Denis
Oxidation States Help. URGENT!
Hey, I've got this question to answer, any help would be greatly appreciated.
In a compound, aluminum (Z=13) exists in only the +3 oxidation state but silicon (Z=14) can exist in either the +2 or the +4 oxidation state. Why?
I've done an experiment on preparing butanone by oxidation of butan-2-ol. Here are the simplified procedures.
1. Sodium dichromate-2-water were acidified by few cm^3 concentrated sulphuric acid, then the acidified dichromate and butan-2-ol were mixed.
2. Few pieces of anti-bumping granules...
