Question

$CH_3CH_2OH$ can be converted into $CH_3CHO$ by

catalytic hydrogenation

treatment with $LiAlH_4$

treatment with pyridinium chlorochromate

treatment with $KMnO_4$

Answer

treatment with pyridinium chlorochromate

Explanation

Solution

Pyridinium chlorochromate $(PCC)$ , a complex of chromium trioxide with pyridine and $HCl$ gives good yield of aldehydes and prevents further oxidation to carboxylic acids. ${CH_3CH_2OH ->[PCC] CH3CHO}$
