Is crystallisation/re-crystallisation in our course?

Also what are the techniques involved in reflux?

Keep in mind that i'm asking both these question in light of Unit 3b .

crystallisation/re-crystallisation<<< taken out

reflux - heat until all the contents are oxidised<<< i think this is the only thing u need to know... cuz u know.... primary alcohol>>aldehyde>>carboxylic acid

so the contents drip back down from the condenser until everything is refluxed.

test with PCI5 afterwards to check if any alcohol remains. not for tertiary alcohols tho.
