Oxidation of Alcohols Oxidation of alcohols is a fundamental reaction in A-level Chemistry and is commonly carried out using acidified potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇ / H₂SO₄). Depending on the type of alcohol, oxidation can produce a range of functional groups, including aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids; however, tertiary alcohols do not undergo oxidation under these conditions.
