Step by step solution

01

Green chemistry

The practice of substituting reagents that cause environmental toxicity with eco-friendly alternatives is known as green chemistry. Such reagents require lesser solvents and generate lesser waste products.

02

Amberlyst A-26 resin

Amberlyst A-26 resin is a polymeric reagent that acts as an eco-friendly alternative to toxic reagents such as chromic acid. They do not require solvents such as sulfuric acid to perform the oxidation reaction.

The reaction of the resin with different alcohols is shown below:

Application of Amberlyst resin as an oxidizing agent

03

Determination of the type of bond present

The bonds are classified as ionic or covalent based on atomic charges. Two neutral atoms will form a covalent bond, whereas two charged species will form an ionic bond.

04

Determination of product

a.

Oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols using Amberlyst A-26 resin

b.

Oxidation of secondary alcohol using Amberlyst A-26 resin

c.

Oxidation of primary alcohol using Amberlyst A-26 resin
