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.
