A procedure is described to oxidize cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone using chromium trioxide. Cyclohexanol and reagents including sodium dichromate and sulfuric acid were mixed and heated with stirring. The products were extracted and purified through distillation and solvent extraction. Cyclohexanone was confirmed through a test reaction with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine that produced an orange precipitate. The actual yield of cyclohexanone obtained was 9.3g, representing a 76.23% yield based on the theoretical calculation.

5: Procedure A 100 ml beaker was placed with magnetic bar in it, on hot plate. 12.5g of sodium dichromate was transferred in the beaker and 125 ml distilled water added with continuous stirring. 22g sulfuric acid was added to sodium dichromate solution along with continuous stirring. The stirring process persisted for a duration of 10 minutes, ensuring optimal blending and homogeneity. Cyclohexanol was poured into a separate conical flask. Chromic acid mixture was added to cyclohexanol completely as one part. Temperature was maintained between 55-60°C. The mixtures were stirred for a period of 30 minutes. Distillation was performed to obtain pure product. Work up of product was performed by solvent extraction. Organic layer was dried with Na2SO4 or MgSO4. Dried organic layer was transferred to another flask. Percentage yield was calculated. 1.6: Confirmatory tests To confirm the presence of cyclohexanone, following test was performed: 2,4 DNPH Test Aldehydes and ketones form a yellow or red precipitates with ,4-dinitrophenylhidrazine solution.2,4 DNPH reagent was added to solution of cuclohexanone. The mixture was stirred vigorously for several minutes. After allowing the reaction to proceed for a specific period of time, a distinctive orange or yellow precipitate was observed, confirming the formation of the 2,4-DNPH derivative.
Density of cylohexanol = 1.02 g/ml Molar mass of cyclohexanol = 100.158 No. of moles of cyclohexanol = 0.1243moles The reactant to product molar ratio is 1:1. Cyclohexanol : Cyclohexanone 1 : 1
Number of moles of Cyclohexanone = 1 × 0.1243 moles
= 0.1243moles
From this data, the theoretical amount of cyclohexanone was calculated.
Theoretical yield of cyclohexanone = moles of cyclohexanone × molecular weight
= 0.1243 × 98.15 = 12.2g Actual yield of cyclohexene = 9.3g
