REMEMBER:
•Go back to Special Topics Box at the beginning of Chapter 14.
•Conversion of an alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone represents an oxidation (removal of H atoms).
•Conversion of an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid is also an oxidation (addition of an O atom).
•Oxidation can involve the addition of oxygen atoms or it can involve the removal of hydrogen atoms (dehydrogenation).

Oxidation of Primary Oxidation of Primary Alcohols to AldehydesAlcohols to Aldehydes
• Requires less vigorous oxidation conditions.
• We can try to remove the aldehyde from the reaction medium as quickly as it is formed
– Generally, the aldehyde has a lower boiling point than either the corresponding alcohol or carboxylic acid
• We can also try to find a milder oxidizing agent.

oxidizing agent as is potassium permanganate• Sodium dichromate can be substituted for potassium
dichromate -- it makes no difference.• There is a color change during the reaction. The
orange color of the dichromate changes to the green of Cr3+ ion.

•The important point about the mechanism is that the loss of the alcohol C-H occurs during the rate-determining step.
•What is not well understood is what happens to the chromium after the formation of the ketone. There is some sort of cascading down through a series of oxidation states, but no one is sure exactly how this happens.

•The problem is how to stop the oxidation at the aldehyde stage.
•We need mild oxidizing conditions -- strong enough to do one 2-electron oxidation, but not strong enough to do the second 2-electron oxidation.
•We can use the Jones oxidation (potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid) and try to distill the aldehyde out of the reaction vessel before it gets oxidized a second time.

•Being a hemiacetal, the cyclic form of fructose is in rapid equilibrium with the open-chain, free ketone form.
•Therefore, fructose is also capable of reducing silver ion, and is thus classified a reducing sugar!

Yeah, but….Yeah, but….
•I thought you said that only aldehydes were capable of giving a positive Tollens test, and fructose is a ketone!
•There is an exception: hydroxyketones also give a positive test!
•Fructose is an -hydroxyketone (go back and check out its structure).

• We can’t use lithium aluminum hydride or pyridinium chlorochromate inside a living cell!
• Any reagent has to be water-soluble, capable of being transported across cell membranes, and able to act in concert with an enzyme.

•The reactive portion is the hydrogen attached to Carbon #4 of the pyridine ring (see previous slide)
•NADH acts as a reducing agent by transfering a hydride from the C-4 position.
