Oxidation And Reduction Reactions in Organic Chemistry Introduction one of the unique characteristics of carbon is that it has nine stable oxidation states. It should not be surprising that organic chemists have developed reagents that allow them to alter these oxidation levels. This topic presents a survey of some of those reagents. Oxidizing Reagents We have already seen several examples of such reagents in our discussion of the oxidation of alcohols. They are repeated here for the sake of completeness. Chromic Acid This reagent is prepared by mixing sodium or potassium dichromate with sulfuric acid as shown in Equation 1. It is used to oxidiz
