Oxidation of Alcohol and Carboxylic
Acid:
Radical species are mainly generated
from these compounds, but cationic species
could also be generated.

Oxidation of Ether:
Similarly to the case of
organonitrogen compounds, anodic oxidation
of ethers generates a cation α to the oxygen
atom, which undergoes nucleophilic
substitution. However, the scope of its
application is limited because of the high
oxidation potentials of ethers.
