1 propanol and 2 propanol can be best distinguished by

Some example reactions of 1-propanol. 1-Propanol shows the normal reactions of a primary alcohol. Thus it can be converted to alkyl halides; for example red phosphorus and iodine produce n-propyl iodide in 80% yield, while PCl 3 with catalytic ZnCl 2 gives n-propyl chloride. zk7be7d.
