  2. Carbonyl reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_reduction

    In organic chemistry, carbonyl reduction is the conversion of any carbonyl group, usually to an alcohol. It is a common transformation that is practiced in many ways. [ 1 ] Ketones , aldehydes , carboxylic acids , esters , amides , and acid halides - some of the most pervasive functional groups , -comprise carbonyl compounds.

  3. Reductions with hydrosilanes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductions_with_hydrosilanes

    Reductions with hydrosilanes are methods used for hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of organic compounds.The approach is a subset of ionic hydrogenation.In this particular method, the substrate is treated with a hydrosilane and auxiliary reagent, often a strong acid, resulting in formal transfer of hydride from silicon to carbon. [1]

  4. Hydrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolysis

    Generic hydrolysis reaction. (The 2-way yield symbol indicates a chemical equilibrium in which hydrolysis and condensation are reversible.). Hydrolysis (/ h aɪ ˈ d r ɒ l ɪ s ɪ s /; from Ancient Greek hydro- 'water' and lysis 'to unbind') is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks one or more chemical bonds.

  5. Reductions with samarium(II) iodide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductions_with_samarium...

    α-Functionalized carbonyl compounds are reduced to afford the corresponding carbonyl compounds. A number of functional groups can be replaced with hydrogen using this method; one transformation that is relatively unique to samarium(II) iodide is the reduction of α-hydroxy ketones and α-hydroxy lactones.

  6. Clemmensen reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clemmensen_reduction

    Scheme 2: A mechanism of Clemmensen reduction was proposed in 1975. [7] [8] The carbonyl is first converted to radical anion (shown as blue), then to zinc carbenoid (shown as red), and then reduced to alkane. Despite the reaction being first discovered in 1914, the mechanism of the Clemmensen reduction remains obscure.

  7. Enantioselective reduction of ketones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantioselective_reduction...

    Enantioselective ketone reductions convert prochiral ketones into chiral, non-racemic alcohols and are used heavily for the synthesis of stereodefined alcohols. [1]Carbonyl reduction, the net addition of H 2 across a carbon-oxygen double bond, is an important way to prepare alcohols.

  9. Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meerwein–Ponndorf...

    Starting with the aluminium alkoxide 1, a carbonyl oxygen is coordinated to achieve the tetra coordinated aluminium intermediate 2. Between intermediates 2 and 3 the hydride is transferred to the carbonyl from the alkoxy ligand via a pericyclic mechanism. At this point the new carbonyl dissociates and gives the tricoordinated aluminium species 4.
