    Chromic acid Oxidation

    Chromic acid H2CrO4


    When alcohol is oxidized by chromic acid as oxidizing agent then
    aldehyde or ketone is formed which further oxidized into carboxylic
    acid.
    The mechanism consists of two main steps:

    STEP 1: Formation of a chromate ester from a primary alcohol and chromic acid.
    STEP 2: E2 process form a carbon-oxygen π bond
    Here obtained an aldehyde which is difficult to isolate. This reaction
    goes further to carboxylic acid by protonation.
