Explanation:
HEY MATE ......
RCH 2 OH→RCHO
➡️its an oxidation reaction.
➡️Pyridinium chlorochromate is amild oxidising agent that oxidises primary alcohol to aldehydes and secondary alcohols to ketones.
➡️ It does not effect any other functional group and therefore have high selectivity for oxidation of alcohols.
➡️Whereas acidic permanganate, acidic dichromate, chromic anhydride in glacial acetic acid are strong oxidising agents and can do further oxidation to carboxylic acid.
➡️The most suitable reagent for RCH 2OH→RCHO is pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC).
