use infrared spectroscopy techniques to determine whether the oxidation of phCHOH to phHC=O by pyridinium chlorochromate reagent is complete or not
Added by Oluwasegun S.
Step 1
After the oxidation reaction of benzyl alcohol (phCHOH) to benzaldehyde (phHC=O) using pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) is complete, take a small aliquot of the reaction mixture for analysis. Show more…
