Half-reactions describing this process include electrons on the right-hand side.
One reaction of this type uses mCPBA, which converts ketones to esters; that reaction is named after Baeyer and Villiger. This type of process removes silicon and carbon impurities from iron in the Bessemer process. Manganate(VII) and hydrogen peroxide are examples of this process's namesake "agents," because they accept electrons, causing this process to occur to another substance. Half-reactions describing this process include electrons on the right-hand side. It is defined as the loss of electrons or an increase in its namesake number. For 10 points, name this process paired with reduction in redox reactions.
