Oxidation reaction of alcohols depends on the type of the alcohols; primary, secondary, or tertiary.
The higher the number of the alkyl connected to the alpha carbon atom the harder the oxidation of the alcohol.
Potassium dichromate (VI), K2Cr2O7 acidified with sulfuric acid can oxidize primary and secondary alcohols but fails to oxidize tertiary alcohols.
