SiliaBond Pyridinium Dichromate (PDC) (R24530B)

SiliaBond^® Pyridinium Dichromate (Si-PDC) may be used as an alternative to Si-PCC in nucleoside and carbohydrate oxidation, particularly for fragile molecules.¹ SiliaBond PDC can also be used in conjunction with tertbutylhydroperoxide for a variety of oxidative transformations.²

PDC immobilized onto silica is a very convenient and effective reagent for oxidizing allylic and benzylic alcohols, saturated primary and secondary alcohols, and is compatible with acid-sensitive groups, such as cyclopropane ring or ketal function.³

Oxidation of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol to 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with 2 eq. of Si-PDC in anhydrous DCM at room temperature is complete after 6 hours.
