The following alkanols will yield alkanoic acids on reacting with excess acidified K2Cr2O7 except
Answer Details
The alkanols that will yield alkanoic acids on reacting with excess acidified K2Cr2O7 are primary and secondary alkanols. Tertiary alkanols do not undergo oxidation. Therefore, the correct answer is (CH3)3COH, which is a tertiary alcohol and cannot be oxidized to an alkanoic acid.
