Abstract

An efficient and convenient adaptation of the pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) oxidation for an organic chemistry student exercise is based on the employment of reagent-grade silica gel, which simplifies workup and purification of the product. The procedures include the oxidation of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol to 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone and d,l-menthol to d,l-menthone.
