Answer

  1. Treatment with pyridinium chlorochromate.

Explanation:

Alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes and finally to acids.

$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}\xrightarrow{[\text{O}]}\text{CH}_3\text{CHO}\xrightarrow{[\text{O}]}\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}$

Oxidations can be stopped at aldehyde stage by using puridinium chlorochromate (CrO3C5H5N.HCl)

$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}\xrightarrow{\text{PCC}}\text{CH}_3\text{CHO}$
