No.
Explanation:
The two primary butyl alcohols (1-butanol and 2-methyl 1-propanol) are easily oxidized to aldehydes, and further to carboxilc acids.
The secondary alcohol (2-butanol) may only be oxidized to an ketone (butone).
The tertiary alcohol (2-methyl 2-propanol) can only be oxidized by rigorous means, mainly into carbon dioxide.
