Propan-1-ol is treated with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in CHX2ClX2. The main product is
Apropanal
Bpropanoic acid
Cpropanone
Dpropene
Answer: A
PCC is a mild oxidant that stops at the aldehyde stage for primary alcohols in anhydrous medium. So CHX3CHX2CHX2OH gives CHX3CHX2CHO (propanal), not the acid.
