Step 1 Butanol to Butanoic Acid
Butanol or 1-Butanol is a primary alcohol. The aim is to convert it into Butanoic Acid. Basically, alcohol can be converted into carboxylic acids by oxidation process. Some strong oxidizing agents like KMnO4/H+ directly convert the alcohols into acids whereas some mild oxidizing agents like K2Cr2O7/H+ does the job in a step wise manner , i.e. by first converting it into aldehyde and again converting it into carboxylic acid.
