Alcohol Reaction Questions
« on: November 20, 2010, 12:54:01 PM »
How do I find out how 1-propanol, 2-propanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol react with K2Cr2O7? How do I find out how they react with ZnCl2 (Lucas Reagent). I know the first is oxidation and the second will convert alcohol to an alkyl chloride but I don't know how to figure out the products?

For K2Cr2O7 you may wish to see oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols.

I found some info on the web. Still missing some information.

How does a secondary alcohol react with ZnCl2?

How does a tertiary alcohol react with ZnCl2?
