Question

Selenium reagents are often used to facilitate these reactions at allylic positions in a reaction named for Harry Riley. After regeneration by copper(II) chloride, palladium(II) chloride catalyzes these reactions in the Wacker process. Three acetate groups attach to the central iodine atom of IBX to generate one reagent used for these reactions, DMP. Dimethyl sulfide is a byproduct yielded in one of these (15[1])reactions named after Daniel (10[1])(*) Swern. (10[1])An acid-dissolved chromium trioxide solution called the Jones’ reagent facilitates one of these reactions that converts alcohols into ketones and (10[1])carboxylic acids. During electrolysis, this reaction occurs at the anode. Iron undergoes this sort of reaction when it rusts. For 10 points, name these reactions resulting in a loss of electrons, contrasted with reduction. ■END■
