Question Explanation:
The question asks for the major product formed when a polyhydroxy cyclohexane derivative is treated with PCC.
Concept:
This question is based on Oxidation of Alcohols.
Solution:
PCC oxidises 1° alcohols to aldehydes and 2° alcohols to ketones, while 3° alcohols remain unchanged due to lack of α-hydrogen.
In the given molecule, the side-chain 1° alcohol forms –CHO and the ring 2° alcohol forms a ketone.
