Reduction and Oxidatione

Reduction and oxidation reactions are common in organic synthesis. In

the sense, reducing and oxidizing agents are used for functional group

transformations or interconversions. Numerous reducing and oxidizing

agents are available today. Since we are actively engaged in synthetic

organic chemistry, we came up with a thought to bring all reducing and

oxidizing agents in a single window.

Most of the textbooks available today in market on reduction and

oxidation have limited information on mechanisms. Besides, they are

limited to few reducing and oxidizing agents. This point of view again

motivated us to write a specialized book on reduction and oxidation.

Our vision is to provide mechanisms to almost all reactions mentioned in

the textbook, so that under graduate and postgraduate students of Indian

as well as foreign universities can easily understand the mechanisms of

oxidations and reductions. Besides, this textbook is useful to students for

the preparation of competitive examinations like National Eligibility Test

and State Lectureship Eligibility Test in India.
