What reagent(s)would accomplish the following transformation? A) Pyridinium chlorochromate B) LiAlD₄ then H₃O⁺ C) H₂CrO₄ D) Potassium dichromate E) H₂SO₄

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) is a common reagent used to selectively oxidize primary alcohols to aldehydes. This transformation involves converting the alcohol into an aldehyde by removing two hydrogen atoms from the hydroxyl group and replacing them with oxygen atoms from the PCC. None of the other reagents listed are specific for this type of oxidation.
