1. Butanoic acid can be obtained by oxidation of butan-1-ol.
CH3CH2CH2CH2OH CH3CH2CH2COOH
The most common reagents used for oxidation of alcohols are chromium(VI) reagents including chromic acid (H2CrO4), potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7, and chromic anhydride (CrO3.)
2. Benzyl alcohol to 2 phenyl ethanoic Acid : Benzyl alcohol reacts with PCl5 to form benzyl chloride. Benzyl chloride reacts with KCN under goes nucleophilic substitution to form benzyl cyanide. Benzyl cyanide on hydrolysis gives 2-Phenyl-ethanoicacid.
3. 3-nitrobromobenzene reacts with ethanolic KCN and replaces bromo group to yield 3-cyanonitrobenzene which on further hydrolysis gives us 3-nitrobenzoic acid.
4. 4_methyl acetophenone to benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid
5. Butanal to butanoic acid. This conversion is also ahieved by simple oxidation.
