Oxidation of Alcohols: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary

Primary Alcohol to Aldehyde, then Carboxylic Acid
Secondary Alcohol to Ketone
Tertiary Alcohol NO REACTION.
Oxidation is usually with potassium dichromate solution, which turns from orange to green if there's a reaction. Heat (reflux) is helpful.
You can stop the reaction at aldehyde by using "distillation".

This was truly an incredible video. Every other video I’ve watched on this topic has been very confusing, but I understood everything you said, and it was a very short video! Thank you so much Nate!

[@vanyiandras3041]

I thought I'm stupid for not understanding how do two H-s become a second bond and you just proved it's not me. Thank you so much sir.

[@tamerfarhat5042]

This is perfection. You totally deserved my like.

[@Prettyfantacy]

Please do more videos you are the best and we students find these videos so helpful because our teachers are not that great

[@theplantslant2431]

I usually don’t comment on videos like this, but this was very well done and easy to understand

[@skyblizter]

this person only use a paper and a marker to teach us,thank you sir

[@emmanuellaaadickson]

This is amazing! Omg like yo I don’t understand how well you just taught that!

[@n1ggesa]

Yooo I swear no cap . This guy just so easily nd humbly taught us like if it's a piece of cake 😂

[@eldraco252]

thank you so so much, other videos over complicate the process and make it hard for young students to grasp the essence. thanks for being direct

[@kb3239]

Thanks!

[@بولاريسنجمالشمال]

I am a med student in the first year. thanks for all your help and I hope you have a great day❤️

[@AT-sk7nm]

FINALLY A VIDEO I CAN ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND. I was about to cry 😂

[@alejumayao]

As a first year med student, I greatly appreciate you

[@scarlie8365]

youtube doesn't have a double-liking feature but i would have clicked it for this explanation, thank you :)

[@u_kno_deweiv1744]

Oh my god have I just found Jesus

[@mirrormaster5874]

ifkr

[@nexusbane8801]

How was it?

[@mk2103.]

Thanks man! Very informative and to the point video! Keep it up!

[@tainaradesa5817]

I liked your explanation. Thanks a lot!

[@marvysandrae.bongolto5075]

you are a life saver thank you so much

[@thebharatswabhiman4707]

Just wanted to know why tertiary alcohols do not oxidise..And see..I found the perfect answer!!!

[@nanajuma7959]

Love this simple and amazing video of chem

[@tasneem6427]

You are incredible.just wow 🤩

[@nurinfitra2458]

u deserve a whole lot more views sir

[@khushirajoria9836]

What about the popoff's rule of further oxidation of ketone group into 2 carboxylic acids..upon reacting it with strong oxidising agent..Why is it not applicable here...according to popoff's rule,,,the ketone should further convert to 2 carboxylic acids

[@shortsrajeshkumar5663]

Thanku Sir very much for clear my doughts

[@alancummings5651]

Excellent explanation

[@uejai8302]

OMG tomorrow is my presentation, and you save me！！！！thank you so much for sharing

[@ParaREZX]

How'd it go?

[@itsucksfr]

you really are a hero :heart:

[@zainabayadalwali5231]

thank you

[@mirrormaster5874]

you are heaven sent

[@SZ-mc7ch]

This saved me so much time

[@lachlanbunyan6445]

Thanks bud, much appreciated video!

[@pranitauprale8099]

But in my text book it is given that tertiary alcohol also shows oxidising properties it converts into acetone and then acidic acid.... Plz reply what's going on

[@nourhanashraf2653]

You cannot oxidize tertiary alcohols as the carbon attached to the OH group (known as carbinol) doesn't carry any hydrogen atoms to be oxidized ..

[@pranitauprale8099]

Nourhan Ashraf .....thanks

[@nourhanashraf2653]

You're welcome 😊

[@uyujooseyo]

Hello sir you help me a lot ❤️
But do you have an example in this but in Cyclo I'm having a hard time to understand it.

[@pawanprakash4131]

Could you make a video on Naming of Amine???

[@azizaahmed1521]

Tomorrow is my organic chemistry exam😥😣...

[@BlazedCLS]

aiza ahmed goodluck 😘

[@deepmeyt]

Same here😂

[@rosendjavera7734]

Mine is tomorrow 😌

[@Kris-rg6yv]

You rock. Seriously.

[@rorimakaleng6295]

What do we call an alcohol like methanol, which doesn't have another carbon ? Is it still primary ?

[@bhavaniselvam4393]

Can you please do a video on acidity of alcohols and phenols?? please..

[@Uzairali123456789]

I love this guy

[@kaivanshah4304]

amazing 👍👍👍👍👍😊😊

[@mysterygirl4797]

so if it’s tertiary it automatically doesn’t have a reaction?

[@叶默-i4o]

Yes that it

[@samkelenibe2018]

For any condition?

[@abhishekpawar5791]

Why is sulphuric acid not used in reaction of alcohol with potassium iodide ?

[@nicholaswestwood5791]

Very helpful thanks

[@nyawirawaithaka4993]

Thank you!

[@captainvenom7252]

In 4 min
That's what I want just an hour before my exam

[@tinotendachibvuri9267]

Helpful. Thx

[@nursepotassium]

primary is prop
secondary and tertiary are but.....right?

[@preetamvyawahare1244]

very good

[@viiperbiite]

Is the Cr2O72- oxidised or reduced?

[@Lawofattractionandbeliefs]

saved my life !!!

[@kasaneshayalew5431]

You help me so thank you

[@akmalhakim286]

Not being rude but I think primary alcohol should’ve one methyl but your primary is like methyl alcohol

[@aquiiprime5614]

thanks sir '

[@nguyenbichvan1532]

loved it!

[@hermellategegne1392]

Godbless you

[@laurengittecolgan3238]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@yadavsurinder4646]

Sir please make videos on amines

[@Ranjandutta-d8j]

This video was made when I was in 3rd standard and now I am in 10th standard..time had passed so fast..if you are reading my comment then pls like 💐💐

[@kelumrajakaruna3928]

thats grate :)

[@abhiacharya7377]

Thanks man

[@zebroar4630]

Thanks man!

[@abdurrazaq3657]

From we can find out complete mechanism

[@trigobrooken6260]

A level chem is overwhelming

[@amahlemasondo7857]

Thank You. SO HELPFUL

[@finickytaint3400]

Until now I always just thought Tom cruise was just a pretty face

[@emmanuel.m.4987]

If your formula doesn't have arrows, it's not a mechanism

[@areebaqamar942]

Thankyouu!

[@kawtharbakhach5848]

This helped some, though I wish you'd distinguish between mild and complete oxidation :p

[@thusharanup4906]

godsend

[@Yoishmeh]

Sheldon?!

[@melikasalehi2551]

I think I love you, like where have you been all my life???
