Correct answer is 1. Explain in detail why 1 cannot be oxidised using PCC whereas other 3 can be.
41. Molecule which does not oxidise using PCC
Dear Student,
There should be H- on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom to get oxidised by PCC which is not there in phenol but present in other all.
See a very important chart .
