Hey! how to oxidise primary alcohol to carboxylic acid? easy task ;) you need just to use Potassium permanganate. KMnO4. 
Come ossidare un alcol primario a acido carbossilico?
Come ossidare un aldeide a acido carbossilico?

Potassium Permanganate is a strong reagent, it is possible also to use dichromate, infact using an excess of the oxidising agent and heating under reflux we can obtain the carboxilic acid.
