Propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol can be best ...

Propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol can be best distinguished by :

A

oxidation with alkaline `KMnO_(4)` followed by reaction with Fehling solution.

B

oxidation with acidic dichromate followed by reaction with Pehling solution.

C

oxidation by heating with copper followed by reaction with Fehling solution.

D

oxidation with conc. `H_(2) SO_(4)` followed by reaction with Fehling solution

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol in the presence of copper (heat) undergo dehydration to give `CH_(2)CHO` and `CH_(3)COCH_(3)` respectively. These can be easily distinguished by Fehling solution.
