Step 1
- The reagent used is PCC (pyridinium chlorochromate), which is a mild oxidizing agent. - PCC oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols to ketones. - In this case, the cyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol, so it will be oxidized to Show moreā¦

Starting from methylenecyclopentane, which are the appropriate sequence of steps that will lead to the alcohol shown below? Ph = phenyl 1) mCPBA, 2) PhMgBr, then H3O+ 1) Hg(OAc)2, H2O, 2) NaBH4, 3) PCC, 4) PhMgBr, then H3O+ 1) BH3.THF, 2) H2O2, OH-, 3) PCC, 4) PhMgBr, then H3O+ 1) HBr, 2) Mg, 3) PhCHO, then H3O+
