The Sarett oxidation is
an organic reaction that oxidizes primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, respectively,
using
chromium trioxide and pyridine.
Unlike the similar Jones oxidation, the Sarett oxidation will not further oxidize primary alcohols to their carboxylic acid form, neither will it affect carbon-carbon double bonds.
Use of the original Sarett oxidation has become largely antiquated however, in favor of other modified oxidation techniques.
The unadulterated reaction is still occasionally used in teaching settings and in small scale laboratory research.
