1-Propanol and 2-propanol can be distinguished by

Answer»

oxidation with alkaline KMnO4 followed by reaction with Fehling solution
oxidation with acidic DICHROMATE followed by reaction with Fehling solution
oxidation by heating with copper followed by reaction with Fehling solution
oxidation with CONCENTRATED `H_(2)SO_(4)` followed by reaction with Fehling solution.

Solution :1-Propanol and 2-propanol in presence of `Cu//Delta` undergo dehydrogenation to give acetaldehyde and acetone respectively which can be DISTINGUISHED by Fehling solution since acetaldehyde reduces while acetone does not reduce Fehling solution.
