In this video I will be demonstrating the Grignard reaction to produce butyric acid. The Grignard reaction is a very interesting reaction which can be used to form new carbon-carbon bonds. The final ...

In this video we will be making butyric acid by oxidizing 1-butanol (n-butanol) using KMno4. Chemicals: -6.2mL 1-butanol -14g KMno4 -1.5g sodium carbonate -2M H2SO4 -Diethyl ether -90mL 3% H2O2 ...
