Final answer:
CrO3 (Jones oxidation with H2SO4 and acetone) can oxidize hydroxyl groups to aldehydes, carbonyl groups to carboxylic acids, and amines to aldehydes and amines.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jones oxidation with CrO3 and H2SO4/acetone is commonly used to oxidize primary and secondary alcohols. The functional groups that can be oxidized include:
Hydroxyl groups (OH) are oxidized to aldehydes or ketones.
Carbonyl groups (C=O) are oxidized to carboxylic acids.
Amines (NH2) are oxidized to aldehydes and amines (or ammonia for primary amines).
For example, primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes:
R-CH2OH + CrO3 + H2SO4/acetone → R-CHO
