Question
how could one distinguish 1-octanol from 1-octene and toluene from 1- octene?
Answers
GK
Distinguish experimentally?
1-octene would discolor a solution of Br2. 1-octanol and toluene would not react with Br2 easily.
1-octanol could be oxidized easily by a chromic acid solution or other strong oxidizer. One of the reaction products would be Cr^+3 ions. 1-octene and toluene would not react as easily.
