Question

How can we make the following? 

The image demonstrates a chemical reaction transformation. On the left, we have the reactant, which is a cyclopentane ring structure with two hydroxyl (OH) groups attached to a single carbon. This carbon is bound to another carbon that forms part of a geminal dimethyl group. On the right, the product is shown. It is a cyclohexane ring with a methyl group on one carbon and a double-bonded oxygen (a ketone group) on the adjacent carbon. This transformation suggests an oxidation reaction where the diol is converted into a cyclohexanone. The arrow between the reactant and product indicates the direction of the chemical reaction from the reactant to the product.
