Pyridinium chlorochromate
Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) is a strong oxidizing agent used in organic synthesis to convert primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols to ketones. It is a yellow to orange crystalline solid with the molecular formula C5H6NClCrO3 and a molecular weight of 215.56 g/mol. PCC is stable at ambient temperatures and should be handled with care due to its hazardous nature. Molekula supplies Pyridinium chlorochromate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
