| Use | Introduction Jones reagent, also known as Jones reagent, is a reagent for selective oxidation of organic compounds. It can oxidize secondary alcohols into corresponding ketones without affecting the double or triple bonds in the molecule; it can also oxidize allyl alcohol (primary alcohol) into aldehydes. Generally, secondary alcohol or allyl alcohol is dissolved in acetone or dioxymethane, and then the reagent is dropped for oxidation reaction. The reaction is generally carried out below room temperature. |
