12.8 Oxidation of Alcohols by Chromic Acid and PCC | Organic Chemistry

Chad provides a comprehensive lesson on the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols by chromic acid and PCC. He shows how chromic acid oxidizes secondary alcohols to ketones and primary alcohols to carboxylic acids. He then shows how PCC (pyridinium chlorochromate) also oxidizes secondary alcohols to ketones, but primary alcohols to aldehydes. Finally, Chad concludes the lesson by showing the mechanism of chromic acid oxidation of a secondary alcohol to a ketone.
I've created an organic chemistry page that organizes all my videos by chapter - just an easier way for you to watch my CZcams videos. Check it out at www.chadsprep.com/chads-organ...

Just found your channel and I can't thank you enough for saving my orgo 2 grade. I've had a hard time learning from my current professor, but your videos have helped a lot!

[@ChadsPrep]

Great to hear, EJ - glad you found us! Thanks for your comment and good luck on your studies.

[@redkritter1225]

Orgo 2?!? I’m learning this for Orgo 1!

[@forlornhauntedghost]

@@redkritter1225 I'm learning this for Orgo 2, it's in our first unit, first chapter so I bet in some places it gets put into Orgo 1 as well

[@MRSsamadi]

i love how you have a video for EVERY SINGLE ochem topic covered in my class ;0; ur the first channel i look for!! massive thanks!!!!

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome, s sam - glad the channel is helping!

[@David-ri2uc]

I had some problems that made learn little of organic chemistry courses in college years ago, even if i passed them , but now that i found your playlist i'm motivated to review all these contents again on my own.
Thank you! you explain so well.

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad you found us - Happy Studying!

[@manuelcorbacho5937]

10:50 LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU SAVED ME, PRAISE YOU

[@ChadsPrep]

Excellent - glad it helped you, MC!

[@ThaoNguyen-po4jk]

Thank you so much for your video. I had a hard time to understand this lecture in class. You made this lecture so much easier and saved my time to study.

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it, Thao Nguyen - Happy Studying!

[@roxanahanna9705]

thankyou for this! made oxidation so easy to understand! :)

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad it was helpful, Roxana - you're welcome!

[@Arthur-----]

Your channel saves me everytime when i study o-chem!!!! Thanks a lot!!!! Sr. Chad, how do you do to remember all of the reactions' mechanisms? Do you have a book's indication about mechanisms? It would be quite helpful.

[@adebayoraphael6594]

Thanks for this video. But I want to ask. Since the reaction is not carried out in a neutral solution or basic solution, HSO4- to deport late that H on the C atom looks somehow to me.

[@rhonelldelacueva7730]

What if strong oxidizing agents are not dissolved in an aqueous solution, does that mean it will only convert the alcohol into aldehydes ?

[@BunniBuns]

Do you have a video for swern oxidation? I'm confused about it ):

[@denissemedina4619]

thank you!!

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome, Denisse!

[@alancummings5651]

Excellent instructions and love the shirt

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank you very much.

[@boombaalo9032]

i cant thank you enough for making these you literally saved my grades

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome, boombaalo!

[@user-do2fu5io2b]

thank you very much ,may Allah bess you

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome and Happy Studying.
