The oxidation reaction between a ketone and MCPBA involves the transfer of an oxygen atom from MCPBA to the ketone, resulting in the formation of an ester. This process is known as Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.
The mechanism of tempo oxidation involves the transfer of oxygen atoms to the substrate molecule, leading to the formation of reactive intermediates. These intermediates can then react with other molecules in the reaction, affecting the overall tempo or speed of the reaction by either accelerating or inhibiting it.

When BR2 reacts with H2O, it undergoes oxidation to form HBr and HOBr. This reaction involves the transfer of electrons from BR2 to H2O, resulting in the formation of these products.
The chromic acid oxidation mechanism for converting aldehydes involves the aldehyde reacting with chromic acid to form a carboxylic acid. This reaction typically occurs in the presence of sulfuric acid and water. The chromic acid is reduced to chromium(III) during the process.
you can do a silica aided reaction.... it's Cr becomes less of a biohazard then.

The synthesis of cyclohexanone from cyclohexanol involves oxidation of the alcohol functional group to a ketone. This transformation can be achieved by using an oxidizing agent, such as Jones reagent (CrO3 in H2SO4) under acidic conditions. The chemical equation for this oxidation is as follows: Cyclohexanol + Jones reagent → Cyclohexanone + Cr byproducts.

Benzoin is oxidized to benzil through a two-step process involving an intermediate compound called benzilic acid. In the first step, benzoin undergoes oxidation to form benzilic acid by the action of a strong oxidizing agent like nitric acid. In the second step, benzilic acid decarboxylates to produce benzil, a dimer of benzaldehyde.
