About this document
Oxidation of Cyclohexanol via Chapman by Kate Taguiam is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes the oxidation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone via the Stevens-Chapman reaction. Cyclohexanol is oxidized using hypochlorous acid produced from the reaction of sodium hypochlorite and acetic acid. This results in the formation of cyclohexanone. Several potential side products are also discussed, as well as methods to characterize cyclohexanone including distillation and reaction with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The objectives are to teach students how to synthesize and purify cyclohe
