Organic Chemistry: Oxidation (GATE CY) — Study Resources & PYQs
Oxidation: Oxidation of alcohols involving metal and non-metal-based (chromium, manganese, DMSO, and hypervalent iodine) reagents. Peracid oxidation of alkenes and carbonyls. Alkenes to diols (manganese and osmium-based reagents), alkenes to carbonyls with bond cleavage (ozonolysis), and alkenes to alcohols/carbonyls without bond cleavage (hydroboration-oxidation). Asymmetric epoxidations (Sharpless and Jacobsen) and Sharpless asymmetric hydroxylation.
