Abstract
Oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds has been carried out by utilization of Jones reagent supported on silica gel (SJR). The SJR procedure has advantages over traditional Jones oxidation procedure. This procedure is safer to carry out and simplified workup by allowing organic media.
