    Name the reagents which are used in following conversions : (i) A primary alcohol to an aldehyde (ii) Butan-2-one to butan-2-ol (iii) Phenol to 2, 4, 6-tribromophenol.

    Answer:

                    Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) converts \[1{}^\circ \] alcohols to aldehydes without any danger of being oxidized further to carboxylic acids.                 \[\underset{1{}^\circ \text{Alcohol}}{\mathop{R-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\]\[\xrightarrow[C{{H}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}^{+}}Cr{{O}_{3}}C{{l}^{-}}}\,\,\underset{\text{Aldehyde}}{\mathop{R-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-CHO}}\,\] (ii) Butan-2-one can be reduced to butan-2-ol by a variety of reagents such as \[Ni/{{H}_{2}},\]Na, alcohol, \[NaB{{H}_{4}}\] or \[LiAl{{H}_{4}}\]. \[\underset{\text{Butan-2-one}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  \parallel   \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C-C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,}}\,\xrightarrow[(ii)\,{{H}^{+}}/{{H}_{2}}O]{(i)\,NaB{{H}_{4}}}\,\,\,\underset{\text{Butan-2-ol}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  OH \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] (iii) Phenol reacts with \[B{{r}_{2}}-{{H}_{2}}O\] to give 2, 4, 6-tribromophenol.
