Detailed Solution

  • Ethanol upon oxidation with Cu followed by heating at 3000C  gives aldehyde with molecular C2​H4​O.
  • Copper at 300°C is the reagent for dehydrogenation. When vapors of primary or secondary alcohol is are passed over Cu at 300°C, result in the formation of aldehyde (with primary alcohol) and ketone (with secondary alcohol).
  • Tertiary alcohols are oxidized to alkenes ( called dehydration )  with Cu at 300°C.
