Question:
What will be formed after oxidation of secondary alcohol with chromic anhydride (CrO3)?
What will be formed after oxidation of secondary alcohol with chromic anhydride (CrO3)?
Show Hint
Chromic anhydride is a powerful oxidizing agent that specifically oxidizes secondary alcohols to ketones, without affecting aldehydes or carboxylic acids.
