Alcohols can be oxidized by chromic acid derivatives. One such reagent is pyridinium chlorochromate, (C5H5NH )(ClCrO3-), commonly known as PCC. Draw the proposed (neutral) intermediate and the organic product in the oxidation of 1-butanol by PCC when carried out in an anhydrous solvent such as CH2Cl2.

When an experimenter draws a conclusion that he assumes will apply to all situations set up similarly to his test situation, even though he cannot possibly have examined all possible test scenarios, the experimenter is using deductive reasoning inductive reasoning abductive reasoning subjective reasoning
