【How-to】What does jones reagent oxidize
Xu, M. L. Trudell, Synthesis, 2005, 1757-1760. CrO3 is an efficient catalyst for benzylic oxidation with periodic acid as the terminal oxidant in acetonitrile. Substituted electron-poor toluenes and diarylmethanes were oxidized to the corresponding substituted benzoic acids and ketones in excellent yields.
