How to tell the difference between octane-1-ol and oct-1-ene? The things I can do are:
- check their solubility in water
- use bromine water
- use $\ce{KMnO4}$
- use sulfuric acid
I assumed that checking the solubility would be a good idea because of the presence of an alcohol but will I notice a difference since the alcohol has 8 carbon atoms. And they all react with bromine water, $\ce{KMnO4}$ and $\ce{H2SO4}$. I think I'm missing something.
