Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers
How can we distinguish between, n-butanol and t-butanol using acidified potassium dichromate?
Acidified K2Cr2O7 is orange in colour. When it oxidises alcohol, its colour changes to bluish green.
n-butanol is 1° alcohol and gives a bluish-green colour while butanol is 3° alcohol, does not react with K2Cr2O7.
