R3.2 Organic redox reactions
This sub-topic concerns the redox reactions of organic compounds. It includes the deduction of the products of oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols (including the two-step oxidation of primary alcohols) and the products of the reduction of carboxylic acids to primary alcohols and the reduction of ketones to secondary alcohols. Reduction of alkenes and alkynes with hydrogen where the degree of unsaturation is...
