Hello,
I plan to synthesize propionic acid. I read that a primary alcohol like n-propanol can be oxidised by manganese dioxide to the coresponding aldehyde.
An aldehyde can then be oxidised by hydrogen peroxide I've read.
Does anyone have experience/text about these kind of reactions ?
I don't want to mess with chloroform because it's carcinogenic so the Haloform reaction is not an option for me.
Greetings.

You posted the same thing before and it went to detritus. There are loads of information about this reaction everywhere.
A simple Google search should take you to it.
