Major Oxidizing and Reducing Agents in Organic Chemistry for JEE & NEET

-
Oxidation and reduction reactions play a crucial role in organic chemistry, especially in mechanisms involving alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and hydrocarbons. Understanding the major oxidizing and reducing agents is essential for JEE and NEET aspirants as these reactions frequently appear in reaction mechanisms, conversions, and name reactions . 1. Oxidizing Agents in Organic Chemistry Oxidizing agents facilitate the removal of electrons or increase in oxidation number of a compound by providing oxygen or removing hydrogen. Common Oxidizing Agents Oxidizing Agent Common Uses Limitations KMnO₄ (Potassium Permanganate) Oxidizes alkenes to diols, alcohols to acids, and aldehydes to acids. Over-oxidation is common; strong and non-selective. K₂Cr₂O₇ (Potassium Dichromate) Converts primary alcohols to carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones. Toxic and non-selective in some cases. CrO₃ (Chromium Trioxide, Jones Reagent) Oxidizes alcohol...
