I've never done more than check on Scifinder to test the possibility of a theorethical synthetic route involving such an oxidation, but from what I can remember, yes, it is possible. I don't know any typical reagents, but most very strong oxidizers should be able to do the trick (peroxides, ozone, permetallates,...). However, these reactions tend not to be very clean, and that's why my supervisor advised me not to use them. Yields are a lot lower than with the reduction reaction, and good luck with any other group even remotely sensitive to oxidation. However, choose your substrate and conditions wisely, and it will work.
