Abstract
A great variety of compounds containing chromium(VI) have proved to be versatile reagents capable of oxidizing almost every oxidizable organic functional group [1]. In spite of this wide spectrum of action the reagents constitute useful tools for organic synthesis since the oxidation can often be controlled to give largely just one single product. Chromic acid is the most popular reagent of this type used in organic chemistry for well over a century. In the last two decades, however, a number of new chromium(VI) containing reagents together with special reaction conditions have been developed to improve the selectivity of oxidation and to deal with complex, highly sensitive compounds.
