A large number of organic synthesis involve reduction at some stage. Some of these reduction agents and processes discussed in this book are:
Different types of reducing agents including catalytic hydrogenation, homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation, asymmetric catalytic hydrogenations, hydride transfer reagents, dissolving metal reductions and non-metallic reducing agents.
Photochemical reductions.
Enzymatic or microbial reduction.
Reductions of specific type of organic compounds including hydrocarbons (alkenes, cycloalkenes, dienes, alkynes and cycloalkanes, aromatic compounds, condensed aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic compounds), alcohols and phenols, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and its derivatives, nitro compounds and nitriles).
Hydrogenolysis.
Enzymatic or microbial reduction.
Some reductions under benign condition.
This book will be of immense use to undergraduate and postgraduate students besides researchers involved in organic synthesis.
