Leading QuestionsAlternate Mechanism for Synthesizing Dienone 11 Pyridinium Chlorochromate (PCC) works under non-acidic, anhydrous conditions to oxidize primary and secondary alcohols into aldehydes and ketones, respectively. In this case, it oxidizes the carbon with the alcohol group to a ketone. In the mechanism the alcohol attacks the Chlorochromate to make a chromate ester allowing for the carbon to be oxidized through a E2 reaction step.
