In the section of reactions of alcohols in my textbook, there are no mechanisms or explanation for this reaction:
I am interested in Jones Oxidation particularly. I researched a little bit on internet but can't find a satisfying mechanism for it. Thanks in advance!

$\begingroup$ Going to vary depending on which oxidant you choose $\endgroup$ – Waylander Mar 30 '17 at 15:38

$\begingroup$ I noticed later the fact you've mentioned and edited the question. $\endgroup$ – user43236 Mar 30 '17 at 16:13

1$\begingroup$ Did you try googling it? Here you go: (name-reaction.com/jones-oxidation). Note that the key step is an E2 elimination across the C-O bond: H-C-O-LG --> C=O where LG is the chromium leaving group. $\endgroup$ – electronpusher Mar 30 '17 at 16:20

$\begingroup$ but then with Jones oxidation, you form chromic acid isn't it? I could write a simple mechanism if it was basic oxidation. For that try checking the linked posted by @electronpusher $\endgroup$ – xavier_fakerat Mar 30 '17 at 16:23

$\begingroup$ Thanks @electronpusher , in the link, there is what i want. But, i can't get the basic version that xavier_fakerat mentioned. $\endgroup$ – user43236 Mar 30 '17 at 16:53
