User:Goblueium/Jones' Reagent SSG Draft
The Jones oxidation, is a chemical reaction described as the chromic acid oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to carboxylic acids and ketones, respectively. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Jones reagent - a solution of chromium trioxide in dilute sulfuric acid and acetone - is used as the oxidizing agent. A mixture of potassium dichromate and dilute sulfuric acid can also be used.
The Jones Reagent will also completely oxidize aldehydes to carboxylic acids.
The solvent acetone markedly affects the properties of the chromic acid. The oxidation is very rapid, quite exothermic, and the yields are typically high. The reagent rarely oxidizes unsaturated bonds.
The chromium residue is very toxic, and care must be taken to dispose of it properly.
