    The most suitable reagent for the conversion of primary alcohol into aldehyde with the same number of carbon is

    A)  acidified\[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]

    B)  acidified \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)  alkaline \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    D)  pyridinium chlorochromate

    E)  \[Cr{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    For the conversion of primary alcohol into aldehyde with the same number of carbon, the most suitable reagent is pyridinium chloro chromate (PCC). \[R\,C{{H}_{2}}OH\xrightarrow[{}]{PCC}RCHO\] Note: PCC is the mixture of pyridine,\[Cr{{O}_{3}}\]and \[HCl\]in 1:1:1 ratio.
