Nice list there!

I would start with p-anisaldehyde (the first one, my personal favorite stain) and if that doesn't work, go for CAM or KMnO4.  I've had luck staining alcohols with PMA as well, although it doesn't give you the color differences that anisaldehyde does.

THANK U GUYS; U SOLVED MY PROBLEM
