Preparation of butanone by oxidation - Physics Forums
2003年10月22日 · 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 were added and then simple distillation was carried out.
What Are the Oxidation Products of Butan-2-ol? - Physics Forums
2007年9月23日 · In summary, the oxidation of secondary alcohols, such as butan-2-ol, can only result in the formation of a ketone, in this case, butanone. Primary alcohols, on the other hand, can be oxidized to both aldehydes and carboxylic acids. As long as there are more than one hydrogen atom on the carbon atom containing the OH group, oxidation can occur.
