Orange solid | [Definition]
ChEBI: Pyridinium dichromate is a pyridinium salt that is the dipyridinium salt of dichromic acid. It is a strong oxidizing agent which can convert primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones respectively. It has a role as an oxidising agent. It contains a dichromate(2-). | [Preparation]
Pyridinium dichromate can be obtained by gradual addition of a solution of chromic anhydride (Cr2O3) in water to pyridine in ice cold conditions.
| [Flammability and Explosibility]
Flammable | [reaction suitability]
reagent type: oxidant | [Purification Methods]
Dissolve it in the minimum volume of H2O and add 5 volumes of cold Me2CO and cool to -20o. After 3hours the orange crystals are collected, washed with a little cold Me2CO and dried in a vacuum. It is soluble in dimethylformamide (0.9g/mL at 25o), and in H2O, and has a characteristic IR with max at 930, 875, 765, 730 and 730 cm-1.
