The alcohol can be converted to aldehyde group by treating with oxidising agent Pyridinium chloro chromate (C5H5N⊕HCrO3Cl−) it is abbreviated as PCC and is called Collin's reagent. This reagent is used in non aqueous solvent like CH2Cl2 It is a very good reagent because it checks the further oxidation of aldehyde to carboxylic acid while rest oxidising agent oxidise aldehyde into carboxylic acid.
