Convert Ch4 to Ch3OH with K2Cr2O7

K2Cr2O7 is a strong oxidising agent.
There is a simple conversion that when an alkane is treated with K2Cr2O7 then, we get an Aldehyde. But when the reaction is controlled, we can get an alcohol.
CH4 + [O] ---K2Cr2O7-----› CH3OH
Here, [O] is a nascent oxygen.
The conversion takes place as follows
Alkane -----› Alcohol -------› Aldehyde -------› Carboxylic acid.
This takes place when we use mild oxidising agents (like CuO) and the steps are skipped by one when we use Strong oxidising agents.
Thanks.
