    The Jones Oxidation is a chromium-based chemical reaction that allows the relatively inexpensive conversion of secondary alcohols to ketones and primary alcohols to carboxylic acids. It also oxidizes primary allylic and benzylic alcohols to aldehydes. Jones first described a convenient and safe chromium (VI) procedure that paved the way for further developments like the Collins Reaction and pyridinium dichromate, enabling primary alcohol oxidation to aldehydes. The Jones Reagent forms chromic acid from chromic trioxide or sodium dichromate in diluted sulfuric acid for these oxidations.

    The Jones Oxidation allows a relatively inexpensive conversion of secondary alcohols to ketones and of most primary alcohols to carboxylic

    acids. The oxidation of primary allylic and benzylic alcohols gives aldehydes. Jones described for the first time a conveniently and safe procedure for a chromium (VI)-based oxidation, that paved the way for some further developments such as Collins Reaction and pyridinium dichromate, which also enabled the oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes.

    Mechanism of the Jones Oxidation


    The Jones Reagent is a mixture of chromic trioxide or sodium dichromate in diluted sulfuric acid, which forms chromic acid in situ.
