Ketone oxidation refers to the chemical process in which a ketone compound undergoes a reaction to yield a corresponding carboxylic acid. This oxidation reaction involves the conversion of the ketone functional group, typically carbon-oxygen double bond (C=O), to a carboxyl group (-COOH) by introducing an oxygen atom.
