Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence of reactions starts with the oxidation of primary alcohol to aldehyde using PCC (pyridinium chlorochromate) reagent, followed by a Grignard reaction with ethylmagnesium bromide to form a secondary alcohol. The secondary alcohol is converted into ketone upon oxidation with chromic acid (H2CrO4). Therefore, the major organic product obtained from the given sequence of reactions is a ketone, which is Choice C.
