Formation of Aldehyde from Alcohol
- The conversion of alcohol to aldehyde is an oxidation process.
- Primary alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes using mild oxidizing agents.
- Strong oxidizing agents may further oxidize aldehydes to carboxylic acids, so a selective reagent is required for controlled oxidation.
EXPLANATION:
- Among the options, PCC in CH2Cl2 (dichloromethane) is the correct reagent for the formation of aldehyde from alcohol.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3: PCC/CH2Cl2.
