Description
Pyridinium Chlorochromate (PCC) is a classic orange-colored reagent used in organic chemistry primarily for the oxidation of alcohols. It is often referred to as the Corey-Suggs reagent, named after the chemists who first popularized its use for its ability to oxidize primary alcohols to aldehydes without over-oxidizing them to carboxylic acids.
