oxidises the OH(alcohol) group into keto-group (-CO) and finally the product produced is cyclohexanone
Cyclohexanol is oxidized to cyclohexanone by a process that involves the loss of a hydrogen atom from the hydroxyl group (-OH) and an α-hydrogen (on the adjacent carbon). This process is known as oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones.
