A reaction of this type is the second step of an anti-Markovnikov reaction developed by Herbert Brown whose first step uses boron.
A reaction of this type is the second step of an anti-Markovnikov reaction developed by Herbert Brown whose first step uses boron. The peroxy acid mCPBA is used in a reaction of this type that converts cyclic ketones to lactones. Another reaction of this type uses the Jones reagent to convert primary alcohols to carboxylic acids. In electrochemistry, this process occurs at the anode. Its namesake number is represented in compounds by a Roman numeral, and is zero for atoms in their elemental form. The mnemonic "OIL RIG" can be used to remember that this process results in the loss of electrons. For 10 points, name this process, the opposite of reduction.
