Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Pyridinium chlorochromate is orange crystalline powder
| [Uses]
Oxidizing agent in organic synthesis.
PCC is pyridinium chlorochromate; PDC is pyridinium dichromate. Both are used in dichloromethane.
| [Uses]
Pyridinium chlorochromate is usually used to oxidize an allylic methylene group.
Oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes

Pyridinium dichromate (PDC) or pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in anhydrous media such as dichloromethane oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes while avoiding overoxidation to carboxylic acids.
| [Reactions]
Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) is a widespread used oxidation reagent but lacks of selectivity with unsaturated compounds. Furthermore, the workup procedure is quite tedious. Absorption of PCC onto silica gel improves the oxidation but then a reagent excess is necessary to reach appropriate rates. These drawbacks can be overcome by sonication leading to short reaction times and only an small excess of 1.2.-1.5 eq. of PCC is required. Using this reagent has been used to oxidise borneol to camphor in 85% yield.
| [reaction suitability]
reagent type: oxidant | [Purification Methods]
Dry it in a vacuum for 1hour. It is not hygroscopic and can be stored for extended periods at room temperature without change. If the purity is very suspect, it can be readily prepared.
