1. What strong acid and oxidant is capable of oxidizing secondary alcohols to ketones and primary

alcohols to carboxylic acids?


Chromic acid (H2CrO4) is a strong acid and oxidant that can perform these oxidation reactions.




2. Which oxidant is commonly used in the hydroboration reaction, resulting in the formation of alcohols,

and also oxidizes aldehydes to carboxylic acids?


Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the preferred oxidant in the hydroboration reaction and can also oxidize

aldehydes to carboxylic acids.




3. What strong acid is particularly useful for elimination reactions due to its conjugate base being a very

poor nucleophile?


Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a strong acid that finds application in elimination reactions due to its poor

nucleophilic properties.




4. Which oxidant is useful for cleaving 1,2 diols (vicinal diols) into aldehydes or ketones?


Periodic acid (HIO4) is an oxidant that can cleave 1,2 diols into aldehydes or ketones.
