Special Topic 2C: Oxidation Reactions

The purpose of this video is to help second-year organic chemistry students review the concepts and questions that most frequently appear on standardized entrance exams, like the MCAT, DAT, PCAT, and GRE. In this video I\u27ll review the following organic oxidation reactions: KMnO4 ,acidic chromate, and MnO2 oxidations; Alkene epoxidation; reacting epoxides with Grignard reagents; reacting alkynes with HgSO4 and H3O+; ozonolysis of alkenes and alkynes; and OsO4 oxidation of alkenes. --Dr. Mike Christiansen from Utah State University
