Oxidation of a tertiary alcohol generally gives?
- Carboxylic acid
- No reaction
- Aldehyde
- Ketone
Explanation
The oxidation of a tertiary alcohol generally gives no reaction under normal conditions
No alpha hydrogen:
The carbon bonded to the -OH group (the alpha-carbon) in a tertiary alcohol has no hydrogen atoms attached to it, as it is already bonded to three other carbon groups.
Mechanism requires an alpha hydrogen:
Standard oxidation reactions of alcohols involve the removal of a hydrogen atom from the alpha-carbon and the formation of a C=O double bond.
Carbon-carbon bond breakage:
To oxidize a tertiary alcohol, a C-C bond would need to be broken, which requires much harsher conditions than those used for primary or secondary alcohols.
