Collins reagent is the complex of chromium(VI) oxide with pyridine in dichloromethane . It is used to selectively oxidize primary alcohols to the aldehyde, and will tolerate many other functional groups within the molecule.

It can be used as an alternative to the Jones reagent and pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) when oxidizing secondary alcohols to ketones
