Chromic Acid Oxidation Mechanism, Alcohol To Ketone | Organic Chemistry @OrganicMechanismsChannel

Uploaded March 2021 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

The mechanism for the oxidation of an alcohol to a ketone using chromic acid. In order for a ketone to be produced, the starting alcohol must be a secondary alcohol. Notice that multiple water molecules are used in the mechanism, however it is only shown that one water molecule is produced from protonation with the chromic acid. It is likely though that the chromic acid as well as acid catalyst are in enough excess that multiple water molecules will be produced that can be used within the mechanism.

$Favorskii Rearrangement Mechanism | Organic Chemistry The mechanism for a Favorskii rearrangement which involves the rearrangement of cyclopropanones and halo-ketones into carboxylic acid derivatives. When halo-ketones are used as the starting material, the mechanism involves a ring contraction to yield the desired product. This rearrangement is conducted under basic conditions.

$Claisen Isoxazole Synthesis Mechanism | Organic Chemistry The mechanism for a Claisen Isoxazole Synthesis which involves the condensation of β-keto esters with hydroxylamine and can occur in two directions to give either isoxazolin-3-ones which exist predominately as 3-hydroxyisoxazoles or isoxazolin-5-ones. Early work by Claisen and others showed that the products from 2-unsubstituted β-keto esters were isoxazolin-5-ones. In the early 1960s, Katritzky found that 2-substituted analogues give 3-hydroxyisozaoles. Jacquier later showed that both types of products could be produced from both types of keto esters depending on the precise pH variation during the reaction work-up. Music: These Days – Infraction$
