Section: Module 2: Lesson 2: Synthesis of Aldehydes and Ketones | Organic Chemistry 2 | NextGenU.org

  • Student Learning Outcomes:
    Upon completion of this module, students you will be able to:
    • Explain the use of PCC and Jones' reagents for the oxidation of 1º- and 2º-alcohols and their conversion to aldehydes and ketones.
    • Explain the mechanism of Friedel-Crafts' acylation of aromatic compounds.
    • Explain the reaction mechanisms for the synthesis of cleaved aldehydes and ketones from the hydroxylation of alkenes (reaction with osmium tetroxide or permanganate) of the vicinal glycols.
    • Explain the synthesis and reaction mechanism of ozonolysis of alkenes to form an aldehyde product.
