Question
It’s not a rearrangement, but one reaction of this type can produce the deprecated nylon precursor caprolactone by reacting cyclohexanone with peracetic acid. That reaction of this type generally forms an ester from a ketone in the presence of a peroxyacid. A reagent of chromium trioxide in aqueous sulfuric acid is used in one reaction of this type named for Jones. Pure elements always have a value of 0 for this process’s namesake “number”. This process, which is represented by the start of the mnemonic OIL RIG (“oil rig”), is what causes iron to rust. For 10 points, name this kind of reaction where a species loses electrons, contrasted with reduction. ■END■
ANSWER: oxidation [or oxidization; accept Jones oxidation or Baeyer-Villiger oxidation; accept oxidation number; prompt on corrosion or word forms]
