Rxn., 1998, 53, 1-122) Likely pretty toxic H2CrO4 Jones reagent As solution with H2SO4 in acetone/water Very strong and not very selective Mechanism has been studied extensively Predominant mechanism likely to be Cr(VI) --> Cr(IV), taken as prototype for other Cr-based reagents Mechanism: See Westheimer J.
