Circle the reaction site. is this reaction dehydration or reduction?_______The hydrocarbon family of the reactant is_____and the hydrocarbon family for the product is_____.Explanation / Answer
(13) The stucture of 4-methyl-2-pentanon is : CH3-CH(CH3) - CH2 - CH(OH) -CH3
The given compound is a secondary alcohol.The oxidation of secondary alcohol(with oxidizing agents such as chromium tri oxide (CrO3), potassium permanganate ( KMnO4), potassium di chromate (K2Cr2O7) or nitric acid (HNO3)) gives a product with one less number of carbon atoms than that of the original alcohol taken.
So it is able to oxidise.
