Pyridinium Dichromate (PDC): The Corey-Schmidt Reagent Pyridinium dichromate (PDC) is a commercially available (and also readily prepared) salt of chromic acid that is soluble in many common organic solvents and useful in the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. It is less acidic than pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC), and thus more suitable for the oxidation of acid-sensitive substrates.
