aldehydes ketones, theory doubt
what happens when we put strong oxidizing agent in excess on a secondary alcohol, i know the product but how do we get there and how does it happen

Alcohol Oxidation: "Strong" and "Weak" Oxidants
Overview of alcohol oxidation: what bonds form and break, and the key difference between PCC, Swern, and DMP versus H2CrO4, CrO3/H3O+ & KMnO4.
Does this help?
i think here its not in excess? the product i have is co2 + h2o
Ketones are generally resistant to mild oxidation, but under strong oxidative conditions, the C–C bond adjacent to the carbonyl can break.
• This cleavage is called oxidative cleavage, and it happens via hydration of the ketone followed by bond breaking.
Possible outcomes depend on the structure of the ketone:
• If the ketone has no hydrogen on the alpha carbon, oxidation leads to carboxylic acids.
• If further oxidation occurs, it can go all the way to carbon dioxide and water.
Here is chat gpt :p
This is an interesting way to show mechanisms
mechanisms till the enolate step^
post that the ene becomes OH too cos of MnO4-
then C-C bond breaks to form two moles of RCOOH or R1COOH + R2COOH (if R1, R2 are diff)

Last step is a redox rxn
