The Fleming-Tamao variety uses potassium fluoride and hydrogen peroxide as catalysts, while the Dess-Martin one is performed in dichloromethane. The Corey-Kim and Swern ones usually result in aldehydes and ketones, and the Baeyer-Villiger kind produces esters in low yield. Jones' reagent, chromium trioxide, is used to accomplish it, as is PCC, although the latter will prevent an alcohol from going all the way to a carboxylic acid. Also seen in half-reactions like the formation of a cation from a neutral atom, for 10 points, name this process in which a species loses electrons.
