CLASSIFICATION OF REACTIONS 255
Aromatic:

C 6H 5N0 2 + 3H 2 = C6HSNH2 + 2H 20
3.3. Oxidation. The transfer of oxygen with the ruptue of 0-0 or O-H
bonds.
3.3.1. Oxygen addition (direct addition of oxygen)
Aliphatic:

2C 2 H4 + O 2 = 2C2H 40
Aromatic:
2C 6H 6 + O 2 = 2C 6HsOH
Aldehyde:

2CH 3CHO + O 2 = 2CH}COOH
Inorganic:

2CO + O 2 = 2C0 2
2S0 2 + O 2 = 2S0 3
3.3.2. Oxygenolysis (C-H, N-H, S-H rupture with H 20 formation)
Alkane:
2C 3H g + O 2 = 2C)H 6 + 2H 20

Alkene:
C 4 HS + O 2 = C 3HsCHO + H 20
C 4Hg + O 2 = CH 2 : CHCOCH) + H 20
Alcohol:
2C 2H 50H + O 2 = 2CH)CHO + 2H 20

Inorganic:
4NH3 + 502 = 4NO + 6H 20
2H 2S + O 2 = 2S + 2H 20
3.3.3. Dual oxygenolysis (rupture of C-C and C-H to give CO 2 and
H 20)
Partial oxidation:

2C lOHR + 90 2 = 2C6H4(CO)20 + 4H 20
Complete combustion:
2C 2H6 + 70 2 = 4C0 2 + 6H 20
