Fastest alcohol oxidation
« on: April 16, 2013, 02:19:26 PM »
In which of the following alcohols is the hydroxyl group oxidized to the aldehyde group the fastest (e.g. with dichromate)? (attached)

How should I know this?

How should we know this,
A guess from me, e,d,b,c,a!
Is a not a masked aldehyde?

As far as I can see the central carbon is at the aldehyde oxidation level.

Oh, you mean in case a). What does that tell me about the rate of oxidation? What about b) and d) (the oxidation state of carbons is the same)?
