Oxidizing Sugars Mildly & Aggressively
joechem.io/videos/85 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link)
In this video, we'll talk about the two ways you can oxidize sugars. In the more mild manner, you can selectively oxidize an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid in an aldose, but if you need to oxidize the "top" and "bottom" of a sugar you can use nitric acid.

Thank you for your work!
Hey joe, im trying to pick up some more in depth theory on chemistry but cant seem to find any straight videos on the mechanisms. So I Was really wondering about why the Br2 reaction is milder than the nitric acid reaction? What makes the Br2 oxidise the sugars in the first place?
Sir, how about oxidizing ketose like D-fructose with nitric acid?
