Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The starting material is a ketone with a six-carbon chain. The reaction involves oxidation of the ketone. Since the oxidizing agent is PCC (pyridinium chlorochromate), which is a mild oxidizing agent, we can expect only the oxidation of the ketone to occur and not the oxidation of the alkane chain. Therefore, the product will be a ketone with the same alkane chain, which is 2-hexanone.
