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 (-5[3])in the presence of a peroxyacid. A reagent of chromium trioxide in aqueous sulfuric acid is used in one reaction (10[1])of this type named for Jones. (10[1])Pure elements always have a value (-5[1])of (10[1])0 for this process’s (-5[1])namesake “number”. This (10[1])process, which is represented by the start of the mnemonic OIL RIG (10[2])(“oil rig”), is what causes (10[2])iron to rust. For 10 points, (10[2])name this kind of reaction where a species (10[1])loses electrons, contrasted with reduction. (10[3])■END■

ANSWER: oxidation [or oxidization; accept Jones oxidation or Baeyer-Villiger oxidation; accept oxidation number; prompt on corrosion or word forms]
