Bayer's Reaction: Alkane & Alkene Deciphering

[Louis]

Hi all,

I need to know what Bayer's Reaction is and how to decipher it for an alkane and alkene...I've tried the internet but there isn't anything that i could find...

Any help would be great...Thanks!

Could it be that you are referring to the bayer-villager's oxidation of ketones to esters?

Or maybe aspirin synthesis ?
