Experiment5 preparation of benzoic acid oxidation of a Primary Alcohol In this experiment, a primary alcohol (benzyl alcohol) is oxidised to a carboxylic acid (benzoic acid) by a strong oxidising agent (potassium permanganate) Because the synthesis reaction is carried out in basic conditions, the carboxylic What was the melting point of your benzoic acid crystals?
