Question

Give the product expected when the following alcohol reacts with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC). (Assume that PCC is present in excess.) The starting material is H O C H 2 C H 2 C H 2 O H. THis reacts with P C C and C H 2 C L 2 to give the product.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given, we are to show the product of the reaction between the alcohol (stick formula) with pyridinium chlorochromate. The reaction starts with the nucleophilic addition of Cr with oxygen molecule on the alcohol. Then, deprotonation of oxygen occurs, this process is followed by the removal of hydrogen ion to yield the final product. The reaction mechanism can be seen from the attached image below.
