    The most suitable reagent for the conversion of \[(pH=9-11)\]is:

    A) \[+3\]

    B) \[+5\]

    C) \[4-1,4-2,\]

    D) PCC (pyridine chloro chromate)

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] is a very good oxidising agent for converting \[MnS{{O}_{4}}\] alcohol to aldehydes and \[\begin{matrix}    2KMn{{O}_{4}}+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}  \\    +2MnS{{O}_{4}}+3{{H}_{2}}O+5[O]  \\    [{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}+O\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}O+{{O}_{2}}]\times 5  \\    \begin{align}   & \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\  & \underset{Pink}{\mathop{2KMn{{O}_{4}}+5{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow[{}]{}}}\, \\  & {{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+\underset{colourless}{\mathop{2MnS{{O}_{4}}}}\,+8{{H}_{2}}O+5{{O}_{2}} \\ \end{align}  \\ \end{matrix}\] alcohols to Icetone. It prevents further oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acid. \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] [PCC is prepared by mixing pyridine\[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] and \[\therefore \]. \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] \[\frac{5}{2}\]
