Abstract
The aims of the experiment was
to (1) undertand the oxidation-reduction reaction of organic compound (2)
identify product of the reaction. The
compound used are cyclohexanol and benzaldehyde were prepared by the laboratory
assistant as the subjects of this experiment. The mechanism and the product of
the redox reaction reaction were as the object in this experiment. The procedure was divided into two steps are cyclohexanol
oxidation reaction and oxidation-
reduction of aldehyde by Base Catalyst: Cannizzaro Reaction. The data obtain
are cyclohexanon as the result
of cyclohexanol oxidation is 4.80 mL and has boiling point of 153oC
with percent yield is 70.86%; the white
crystal of benzoic acid resulted is 3.11 gram with percent yield is 69.84%; and the benzyl alcohol resulted is 2.8 mL
and has boiling point of 205oC with percent yield is 73.87%.
Key
words: Oxidation reaction, Cyclohexanol, Cannizzaro reaction, Benzaldehyde.
