The product resulting from mild oxidation of 2-methylpropanal is 2-methylpropanoic acid.
2-methylpropanoic acid, also known as isobutanoic acid, is type of carboxylic acid having structural formula (CH3)2CHCOOH. It is an isomer of n-butyric acid. It is classified in the category of short-chain fatty acid.
Carboxylic acid is defined as the organic compound containing —COOH as a functional group.
Ketone is defined as the organic compound containing —CO as a functional group.
The lose of electron is called oxidation reaction.
It is also defined as the reaction in which a substance or species lose its electron.
As we know that, when alcohol is mild oxidized it converted into ketone than after into carboxylic acid.
