Just fabulous
]]>Yes – thank you, finally fixed!
]]>Good luck. It’s complicated. Start with March’s advanced organic chemistry and dig in there.
]]>Not without breaking a C-C bond somehow.
]]>There are some reagents that will preferentially oxidize primary over secondary, and vice-versa. You usually don’t learn about such details in introductory organic, but an example of the first type (primary over secondary) is TEMPO, and an example of the second type is Bobbitt’s reagent (among others)
See this super useful handout. http://hwpi.harvard.edu/files/myers/files/6-oxidation.pdf
Thank you.
