A better reagent to oxidise primary alcohols into aldehyde is
- A PCC
- B Alkaline \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\)
- C Acidified \(\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\)
- D \(\mathrm{CrO}_3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) PCC
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
PCC (pyridinium chlorochromate) is a
commonly used reagent for the oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehyde. It is favoured due to its selectivity, mild reaction conditions,
compatibility with functional groups and ease of handling.
