Chromic acid and chromium oxide are the two versatile Cr(VI)
oxidants known to organic chemists for decades. The introduction of
the Core's reagent , viz: pyridinium chlorochromate, in 1975
followed by the publications on several Cr(VI) oxidizing agents
containing the -onium chromates and halochromates in the last three
decades have very much changed the chemistry of oxidations with
Chromium VI. Several of these new reagents have been shown to be
mild so that they can be handled easily and the reacton products
may also be controlled. Some of them are highly selective oxidants
for positions like allylic hydroxylic group, etc., and some other
are highly regioselective. The information on more than 36 such
reagents reported in various inteationally reputed jouals
spanning about 280 references have been collected and provided in
this book in such a manner that it will be very useful for
professionals, researchers, teachers and graduate students working
in organic synthesis.
