Give the main product of the reaction scheme of cyclohexanolreacting with K2Cr2O7 and h+ as a structure model
Accepted Answer
The main product of the reaction of cyclohexanol with K2Cr2O7 and H+ is cyclohexanone. This reaction is an oxidation reaction where the primary alcohol (cyclohexanol) is oxidized to a ketone (cyclohexanone). The reaction mechanism involves the formation of a chromate ester intermediate followed by elimination of water and reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The reaction can be represented as follows:
Cyclohexanol + K2Cr2O7 + H+ → Cyclohexanone + Cr(III) + H2O
