The Collins oxidation is an organic reaction for the oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes. It is distinguished from other chromium oxide-based oxidations by the use of Collins reagent, a complex of chromium(VI) oxide with pyridine in dichloromethane.[1][2]
Related oxidation reactions
Several chromium oxides are used for related oxidations.[3] These include Jones oxidation and Sarett oxidation.
