Carboxylic acid is often derived with the use of Jones reagent from the oxidation of what organic compound?
Correct answer: A. Alcohols
- A. Alcohols
- B. Aldehydes
- C. Ketones
- D. Ethers
Explanation
Jones reagent is a solution of chromium trioxide (CrO3) in diluted sulfuric acid (H2SO4) that can be used safely for oxidations of organic substrates in acetone. Carboxylic acids are often derived with the use of Jones reagent from the oxidation of primary alcohols.The primary alcohol is first converted into an aldehyde before converting it into a carboxylic acid.So aldehyde act as a intermediate. Also aldehydes cannot be isolated here because it readily converts to carboxylic acid. This reaction is exothermic.

About Carboxylic Acids
Carboxylic acids are named and studied through the combined effects of the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, their preparation, acidity and hydrogen bonding. Reactions include neutralisation, esterification, reduction and conversion into acid chlorides, anhydrides, esters and amides, with emphasis on how these derivatives interconvert.
