In this video, we look at the oxidation of primary alcohols. First we look at what is meant by an oxidising agent. We then look at how we can oxidise a primary alcohol to an aldehyde. Then we explore how to continue the oxidation to produce a carboxylic acid and how to maximise the chances that this reaction goes to completion.
