UWhirl claims that PCC cannot oxidize aldehydes further because it is an anhydrous oxidizing reagent that does not contain water necessary to convert aldehyde to a hydrate, an intermediate before becoming carboxylic acid. Ok, where is water in CrO3 or KMnO4 then that lets it oxidize ald to CA then?
