Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main product when 1-butanol is oxidized?
  • Step 1: Understand that 1-butanol is an alcohol, which means it has a hydroxyl (-OH) group.
  • Step 2: Know that oxidation is a chemical reaction that typically involves adding oxygen or removing hydrogen.
  • Step 3: When 1-butanol is oxidized, it loses hydrogen atoms.
  • Step 4: The oxidation of 1-butanol first converts it to butanal, which is an aldehyde.
  • Step 5: If the oxidation continues, butanal can be further oxidized to butanoic acid, which is a carboxylic acid.
  • Step 6: Therefore, the main product of the complete oxidation of 1-butanol is butanoic acid.
