Aldehydes themselves are of little commercial interest, but they open a way to alcohols via hydrogenation, to carboxylic acids via oxidation, and to amines via reductive amination. Aldolization is the starting point for branched alcohols, carboxylic acids, and amines with a double carbon number. As an example of co-aldolization, the route to polyols is shown. All...

Oxidation of alcohols.2 This dioxirane oxidizes secondary alcohols to the ketones very rapidly even at low temperatures in essentially quantitative yield. Primary alcohols are oxidized more slowly to mixtures of the aldehyde and the carboxylic acid. The oxidation presumably proceeds via a hemiacetal. 

Adsorption of carboxylic acids, alcohols and amine on steel surfaces takes place by hydrogen-bonding of monomeric molecules to the oxide and hydroxide layers on the surface. Aliphatic amines, alcohols, and acids have also proved to be especially suitable for build-up of anti-wear protective layers, and greatly reduce the friction coefficient. Adsorbed and chemisorbed films are very effective in reducing friction and mild wear under moderate rubbing however, they fail fairly rapidly under severe rubbing conditions and therefore are not very effective in preventing wear and seizure. 

We have already encountered three methods for preparing carboxylic acids (1) oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes, (2) oxidative cleavage of alkenes and alkynes, and (3) severe side-chain oxidation of alkylbenzenes. 

Oxidation of primary [Eq. (1)], secondary [Eq. (2)], or tertiary [Eq. (3)] carbon atoms all occur to give the corresponding alcohols. Further oxidation of a primary alcohol yields the aldehyde, which is usually rapidly converted to the carboxylic acid. The oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones generally leads to less hydrophilic metabolites and is less common. 

Nickel peroxide, prepared by adding an alkaline solution of 6% sodium hypochlorite to a solution of nickel sulfate hydrate at 20 °C, is used to oxidize alcohols to carbonyl compounds or carboxylic acids. The oxidation...

The combustion process is initiated by an ignition source converting some number of methane molecules into free radicals. Free radicals are in turn converted to OH free radical. Possible oxygenated compounds include aldehyde, alcohol, carboxylic acid, and oxide. The hydroxyl free radical then reacts with methane and is regenerated. The successive (chain type) combustion reaction is impeded by destruction of the OH radicals. Solid surfaces often destroy the OH radicals before they can react with hydrocarbons. The same effect is exploited in a porous-bed flame arrestor. In general, the combustion rates are very fast and nearly measurable with a few exceptional situations where time scales can be expanded to microseconds (KT6 s). The... 

The alcohol once formed is oxidized by an NAD(P)H- and 02-dependent oxygenase to the aldehyde and then to the carboxylic acid. The 4a-carboxylic acid is oxidized by an NAD " -dependent enzyme to the 3-oxo-4a-carboxylic acid. This enzyme has been solubilized and purified from rat liver microsomes. The enzyme has a of 7 juM for the sterol substrate and is maximally active at alkaline pH. The preparation was free of the hydroxylase activities and was uninfluenced by treatment with several phospholipases. It is not known whether the j8-oxo acid formed decarboxylates spontaneously or enzymatically [105]. 

Oxidation of VOCs leads to the formation of more highly substituted and therefore lower volatility reaction products. The reduction in volatility is due mainly to the fact that adding oxygen and/or nitrogen to organic molecules reduces volatility (Seinfeld and Pankow 2003). Addition of carboxylic acid, alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, alkyl nitrate, and nitro groups to the precursor VOC can reduce its volatility by several orders of magnitude (see Section 14.5.1). The reactions of VOCs with 03, OH, and N03 can all lead to SOA formation in the atmosphere.

This is not new information. We learned, during our study of the mild oxidation of alcohols (Sec. 13.5.3), that aldehydes undergo mild oxidation to carboxylic acids but ketones are resistant to mild oxidation. Mild oxidation of a primary alcohol with permanganate or dichromate proceeds initially to yield an aldehyde and then the aldehyde is oxidized to a carboxylic acid. Mild oxidation of a secondary alcohol yields a ketone which does not oxidize further. 

Probenecid is essentially completely absorbed from the Gl tract on oral administration, with peak plasma levels observed within 2 to 4 hours. Like most acidic compounds, probenecid (pKa = 3.4) is extensively plasma protein bound (93-99%). The primary route of elimination of probenecid and its metabolites is the urine. It is extensively metabolized in humans, with only 5 to 10% being excreted as unchanged drug. The major metabolites detected result from glucuronide conjugation of the carboxylic acid, u-oxidation of the n-propyl side chain and subsequent oxidation of the resulting alcohol to the carboxylic acid derivative, a)i-oxidation of the n-propyl group, and N-dealkylation.

Primary or secondary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or ketones. Aldehydes are easily further oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acid and oxidation of a primary alcohol usually continues through the aldehyde to the acid. The oxidation of a secondary alcohol usually yields a ketone. Ketones are more resistant to further oxidation because C-C bonds would have to be broken and can only be further oxidized using very strong oxidising conditions. Tertiary alcohols are resistant to any oxidation, again because C-C bonds would have to be broken. These changes can be summarized as follows ... 

In fact, in the presence of a free primary alcohol (e.g., at Cg in cellulose or amylose), this chemical group undergoes a preferential oxidation to aldehyde or further toward carboxylic acid. The oxidation to the carboxylic acid level produces uronic acid units resembling the structure of natural polyuronic acids such as pectin and alginate.
