1-propanol and 2-propanol 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 Fehling solution-

C

oxidation by heating with copper followed by reaction with Fehling solution

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Heating with Cu causes dehydration. 1-Propanolgives propanal while 2-Propanol gives propanone. Onlypropanal reacts with Fehling solution..
