Oxidation of cyclohexanol to hexane-1,6 dioic acid?

[somecelxis]

Homework Statement

is it possible to use conc HNO3 instead of H2SO4 to allow the reaction of oxidation of cyclohexanol to haxane-1.6 dioic acid to occur?

how can the reaction occur? cyclohexanol is seconary alcohol , it should be oxidised to ketone am i right? but it's oxidised to carboxylic acid...

The Attempt at a Solution

i was told that cyclohexanol is dehydrated to cyclohexene first , then it only oxidised to haxane-1,6 dioic acid... but it's not stated in the book... is the statement above correct? [/B]

That's the way it is done. It is on the image you posted. I guess you meant something else.

In my book, the oxidation process is carried out using the conc h2s04 ... For alcohol.. This is the first time I saw it with conc hno3...
