Oxidation States
• Easy for inorganic salts
CrO42- reduced to Cr2O3
KMnO4 reduced to MnO2
• Oxidation: loss of H2, gain of O, O2, or X2
• Reduction: gain of H2 or H-, loss of O, O2,
or X2
• Neither: gain or loss of H+, H2O, HX

• CuO, 300°C (industrial dehydrogenation)
• Swern oxidation: dimethylsulfoxide, with
oxalyl chloride and hindered base,
oxidizes 2 alcohols to ketones and 1
alcohols to aldehydes. =>
