The Jones type uses chromic acid to transform alcohols into ketones and carboxylic acids, thus increasing the number of carbon-oxygen bonds, one way of achieving this process.
Oxalyl chloride and DMSO are employed in the Swern variety, and osmium tetroxide is used to bring about this process in alkenes. Tollens' Reagent initiates this process leading to a silver mirror in the presence of aldehydes because ketones typically do not undergo it. The Jones type uses chromic acid to transform alcohols into ketones and carboxylic acids, thus increasing the number of carbon-oxygen bonds, one way of achieving this process. Occurring when a molecule or atom loses electrons, for 10 points, is what type of reaction often coupled with a reduction?
