Upon oxidation with reagent X, 2-methylpropane-1,2-diol gives 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propanal. Hence reagent X is Pyridinium Chlorochromate (PCC).
- In the conversion of 2-methylpropane-1,2-diol to 2-hydroxy-2-methyl propanal, the conversion happening is on
of the compound.
- In the first compound
of propane has an -OH group attached to it (alcohol). After being made to react with X,
has an aldehyde group(−CHO) attached to it.
- Therefore, the conversion is from alcohol to aldehyde group.
- The reagent most suitable for this conversion is Pyridinium Chlorochromate or PCC.
- PCC is most widely used for converting primary alcohols to aldehydes as it is a mild oxidising agent and hence will not affect the alcohol group on
of the first compound.
Therefore, reagent X in this conversion is Pyridinium Chlorochromate (PCC).
