Which alcohol is NOT oxidised by acidified potassium dichromate(VI) under normal conditions?
Correct answer B. 2-Methylpropan-2-ol
Explanation
Oxidation needs a hydrogen atom on the carbon bearing the OH group. In the tertiary alcohol 2-methylpropan-2-ol this carbon has no hydrogen, so the orange dichromate does not turn green.
