Potassium dichromate, K2Cr2O7 is known to be a very strong oxidizing agent that readily tends to add oxygen to the compound. And aniline is an aromatic primary amine undergoes oxidation in the presence of potassium dichromate and concentrated sulphuric acid to form 1,4 - benzoquinone along with the removal of an ammonium ion.
