Which of the following statements is/are correct? (A) Aldehydes are generally oxidised under vigorous conditions (B) Ketones are easily oxidised to carboxylic acids even under mild oxidising agents (C) Oxidation of ketone involves carbon-carbon bond cleavage to give a mixture of carboxylic acids having lesser number of C-atoms than the parent ketones (D) All of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Ketones are generally oxidised under vigorous conditions, i.e. strong oxidising agents and at elevated temperatures.
Their oxidation involves carbon-carbon bond cleavage to give a mixture of carboxylic acids having lesser number of carbon atoms than the parent ketone.

Q. Which of the following statements is/are correct?

Aldehydes are generally oxidised under vigorous conditions

Ketones are easily oxidised to carboxylic acids even under mild oxidising agents

Oxidation of ketone involves carbon-carbon bond cleavage to give a mixture of carboxylic acids having lesser number of $C$ -atoms than the parent ketones

All of the above

Ketones are generally oxidised under vigorous conditions, i.e. strong oxidising agents and at elevated temperatures.
Their oxidation involves carbon-carbon bond cleavage to give a mixture of carboxylic acids having lesser number of carbon atoms than the parent ketone.
