Does Victor Meyer test distinguish alcohols and alkyl halides?
Aaron,

You could be correct if your alkyl halides to be ditinguished are 1,2,3 degree alkyl IODIDES.
Because we ultimately are converting 1,2,3 degree alcohols into IODIDES in step-I; followed by reactions with NaNO2/HCl and then NaOH.

@Pritt Balagopal

He had a valid point, when he said "alkyl halides and alcohols are said to react in the same way with the reagents used for Victor Meyer test"
