Out of the primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols, which one is resistant to oxidation ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which type of alcohol is resistant to oxidation among primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, we can analyze the oxidation reactions of each type. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Alcohol Types**: - **Primary Alcohols**: These have the hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon that is connected to only one other carbon atom (R-CH2OH). - **Secondary Alcohols**: These have the hydroxyl group attached to a carbon that is connected to two other carbon atoms (R1-CHOH-R2). - **Tertiary Alcohols**: These have the hydroxyl group attached to a carbon that is connected to three other carbon atoms (R1-R2-R3C-OH). ...
