About this lab
Run oxidation, dehydration, esterification and substitution on primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols and track the products and oxidation level.
You will be able to
Describe the oxidation of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols with acidified K2Cr2O7 or KMnO4 by distillation and by reflux, and the colour change of dichromate(VI).
Describe the dehydration, esterification and substitution reactions of alcohols and their reaction with sodium, with the reagents and conditions.
Deduce the presence of a CH3CH(OH)– group from the triiodomethane reaction with alkaline I2(aq).
