One mechanism for these reaction, which exhibits a very large deuterium isotope effect, is particularly fast when the substituents are in an (*) anti-periplanar configuration.
It's not an oxidation, but one type of this reaction has an intermediate in which a selenide is reacted with hydrogen peroxide to form a selenoxide. Tertiary amines are transformed into hydroxylamine in another reaction of this type. Those reactions are named for Greico and Cope. One mechanism for these reaction, which exhibits a very large deuterium isotope effect, is particularly fast when the substituents are in an (*) anti-periplanar configuration. This kind of reaction preferentially generates the most substituted product according to Zaitsev's rule. For 10 points, name these reactions that include E1 and E2, in which a functional group is "kicked out" of a molecule.
