    What reagent(s) can be used to convert 2 methyl pentan-1-ol into 2-methyl pentanal?

    A)  \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]

    B)  \[LiAl{{H}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[Cr{{O}_{3}}\]-pyridine

    D)  \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]  

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Alcohols can be oxidised into aldehydes by reagents such as \[CrO_{3}^{-}\]- pyridine, acidified \[KMn{{O}_{4}},\,PCC\] etc.                 \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{2-methyl-pentanol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\] \[\xrightarrow[Cr{{O}_{3}}-pyridine]{[O]}C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}-CHO\]
