2-methylpropan-1-ol. Since it is a 1 alcohol
it can be oxidised to a carboxylic acid / since
the others are secondary or tertiary alcohols
and cant be oxidised to a carboxylic acid.
Either of the two reagents could be used.
Br2 will react with both substances, but the
reaction with hexane is slow and requires UV
light. Permanganate will only react with pent1-ene.
Br2 reacts with pent-1-ene in an addition
reaction. Br2 changes colour from orange to
colourless.
