Curriculum Module OXID

Oxidation Reactions in Organic Chemistry

Chromium Reagents, Permanganate, Ozonolysis, Epoxidation & Periodate Cleavage

105 SlidesFull Master Compendium

Core Mechanistic Pathways

Controlled oxidation: 1° Alcohol to Aldehyde (PCC, PDC, Dess-Martin Periodinane, Swern)
Vigorous oxidation: 1° Alcohol / Aldehyde to Carboxylic Acid (Jones, KMnO₄, K₂Cr₂O₇)
Oxidation of 2° Alcohols to Ketones
Reductive vs Oxidative Ozonolysis of Alkenes and Alkynes (O₃/Zn vs O₃/H₂O₂)
Syn-dihydroxylation with cold dilute alkaline KMnO₄ (Baeyer’s Reagent) vs OsO₄
Glycol cleavage with Periodic Acid (HIO₄) and Lead Tetraacetate (LTA)
Allylic oxidation with Selenium Dioxide (SeO₂)

Key Reagents & Conditions

PCC / CH₂Cl₂Jones Reagent (CrO₃ / H₂SO₄ / Acetone)O₃ then Zn/H₂O or Me₂SCold alk. KMnO₄OsO₄ / NMOHIO₄

Stereochemical Dynamics

Stereospecific syn-additions in dihydroxylations and epoxidations; retention of configuration at migrating stereocenters.

Module Summary & Study Guidance

An exhaustive catalog of organic oxidations. Clear reagent distinction rules, chemoselectivity across polyfunctional substrates, and step-by-step catalytic electron-transfer cycles.

Exam Orientation: JEE Advanced High Yield · Reagent selectivity matrices. All materials are embedded directly on Chem-Mantra with online presentation and secure reference reading modes.
