CATALYTIC OXIDATION OF METHANOL (CH3OH) TO FORMALDEHYDE (HCHO) By- Paidi Krishna Pradeep (2015CH10118) Chemical Synthesized: In this term paper, we are going to discuss the synthesis of Formaldehyde from Methanol by catalytic oxidation. Formaldehyde is the simplest molecule in the aldehyde family. It is also known as methanal based on the IUPAC nomenclature system. Structure of Formaldehyde Uses of Formaldehyde: It is used as a disinfectant as it is effective in killing most of the bacteria and

to enable the lower members of the homologous series of Aldehydes and Ketones to be completely miscible with water. Water will form H- bonds to the carbonyl group. Redox Reactions 1. Reduction: Aldehydes and ketones may be reduced to 10 alcohols and 20 alcohols, respectively using the reducing agent sodium tetrahydridoborate, NaBH4. (Water or ethanol is used as a solvent.) (a) Reduction of Ethanal CH3CHO + 2[H] NaBH4 in water CH3CH2OH (b) Reduction of Propanone CH3COCH3 + 2[H] NaBH4 in ethanol

in the Alcohol Metabolizing Genes and Alcoholism Phenotypes in European Americans’, Sherva, Rice, Neuman, Rochberg, Saccone, and Bierut search for a correlation (a statistical measurement of the relationship between two or more variables) between two alcohol-related phenotypes and SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphism) in 17 genes involved with alcohol metabolism. Alcohol metabolism is a process through oxidation where alcohol is detoxified and removed from the blood, preventing the alcohol from accumulating

Be able to use physical or chemical properties to distinguish between organic substances. For example, identify one physical or chemical property you could use to distinguish between the following pairs of organic substances: a) 2-butanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol: • 2-butanol is a secondary alcohol so it will undergo oxidation reactions with [O] to produce butanone (a ketone).
