Controlled Oxidation of Alkane -

Alkane on heating with a regulated supply of O2 or air at high pressure and in the presence of suitable catalysts give a variety of oxidation products.

\mathrm{CH_{4}+O_{2}}\xrightarrow[\Delta ]{\mathrm{Mo_{2}O_{3}}}\mathrm {HCHO + H_{2}O}

\mathrm{2CH_{3}-CH_{3}+3O_{2}}\xrightarrow[\Delta ]{\mathrm{(CH_{3}COO)_{2}Mn}}\mathrm{2CH_{3}COOH+2H_{2}O}

\mathrm{CH}_{4}+\underset{\text { limited }}{\mathrm{O}_{2}} \stackrel{\text { Burn }}{\longrightarrow} \underset{\substack{\text { carbon } \\ \text { black }}}{\mathrm{C}}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}

All of the given reagents are used in controlled oxidation.

PCC is used for the controlled oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones.

Therefore, option (4) is correct.
