It's 2-methylpropan-1-ol oxidized with potassium dichromate(VI) in aqueous sulphuric acid to yield 2-methylpropanoic acid (also known as isobutyric acid).
Traditionally Potassium Dichromate is used to darken Cherry, Mahogany, Oak or Walnut. Preparation: -- Mix in Plastic or Glass only. Dissolve the Potassium Dichromate â¢â¢ 1 teaspoon in 8 Oz, of hot water or â¢â¢ 4 oz by weight into 1 Qt .hot water (100g into 1L). Test the result on a spare piece of wood.Bichromate of Potash). Potassium Dichromate is a water soluble chemical stain that reacts with the tannin in the wood. The oxidizing action replicates and accelerates natural aging and darkening associated with UV exposure. The results are rich tones, with clarity of. the wood grain and pattern.
