PCC is:
Show Hint
PCC oxidizes alcohols to aldehydes and ketones without overoxidation, prepared from CrO₃, pyridine, and HCl.
Updated On: Dec 26, 2024
- K₂Cr₂O₇ + Pyridine
- CrO₃ + CHCl₃
- CrO₃ + H₂SO₄
- A complex of chromium trioxide with pyridine + HCl
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
PCC (Pyridinium Chlorochromate) is a reagent prepared by combining chromium trioxide (CrO₃), pyridine (C₅H₅N), and hydrochloric acid (HCl). It is commonly used for the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones without overoxidation to carboxylic acids.
