Oxidation
Carbonyl groups in aldehydes and ketones may be oxidized to form
compounds at the next “oxidation level”, that of carboxylic acids.
• Alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes and ketones
(example: biological oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde)
• The carbonyl group may be further oxidized to carboxylic acids
