Can methanol be oxidised by PCC? Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in $\ce{CH2Cl2}$ can be used to oxidise primary alcohols only to aldehydes. I can't however, find any reference of it oxidising methanol (which is strictly speaking not a primary alcohol). My question is, does PCC oxidise methanol to formaldehyde and if not, what can I use to achieve this reaction?
Look at the examples given here: 



(Ignore the stuff written with pen; I have a habit of taking notes when reading)

PCC is taking two hydrogen atoms – one from the carbon atom attached to the -OH group and the other one from the -OH group itself, and then making a C=O double bond. Methanol has both of these. So, PCC should be able to oxidise it to formaldehyde.
