Primary alcohol to the acid

A strong oxidant carries a primary alcohol past the aldehyde to the carboxylic acid.

mechanism written

What it needs, and what it gives

Reaction class: Oxidation
Typical conditions: Permanganate, or chromium(VI) under Jones conditions. A milder oxidant stops at the aldehyde.
Mass balance: not stated
Mechanism: none written

Conditions are what the literature ordinarily uses, recorded so you can see whether yours are in the usual range. They are not a procedure and they are not scaled to your flask.

How it is thought to happen

No mechanism is written for this class

The transformation is applied and tested, but no canonical pathway has been written for it yet. Rather than generate a plausible-looking set of arrows, the platform offers nothing here. What it does claim — which bonds change — is read from the transformation itself and does not depend on a mechanism.

Try it on your own structures

Enter your reactants in the Reaction Lab. If this transformation matches what you drew, it is applied and the outcome is shown next to the records that back it — with the count of documented reactions doing the same thing on substrates like yours, rather than a confidence score.
