  2. Mozingo reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozingo_reduction

    The Mozingo reduction, also known as Mozingo reaction or thioketal reduction, is a chemical reaction capable of fully reducing a ketone or aldehyde to the corresponding alkane via a dithioacetal. [1] [2] The reaction scheme is as follows: [3]

  3. Corey–Fuchs reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corey–Fuchs_reaction

    The overall combined transformation of an aldehyde to an alkyne by this method is named after its developers, American chemists Elias James Corey and Philip L. Fuchs. The Corey–Fuchs reaction By suitable choice of base, it is often possible to stop the reaction at the 1-bromoalkyne, a useful functional group for further transformation.

  4. McFadyen–Stevens reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McFadyen–Stevens_reaction

    The collapse of the alkoxide results in the fragmentation producing the desired aldehyde (4), nitrogen gas, and an aryl sulfinate ion (5). The mechanism of the McFadyen–Stevens reaction Martin et al. have proposed a different mechanism involving an acyl nitrene .

  5. Wolff–Kishner reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff–Kishner_reduction

    The Wolff–Kishner reduction is a reaction used in organic chemistry to convert carbonyl functionalities into methylene groups. [1] [2] In the context of complex molecule synthesis, it is most frequently employed to remove a carbonyl group after it has served its synthetic purpose of activating an intermediate in a preceding step.

  6. Dakin oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakin_oxidation

    The Dakin oxidation. The Dakin oxidation (or Dakin reaction) is an organic redox reaction in which an ortho- or para-hydroxylated phenyl aldehyde (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) or ketone reacts with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in base to form a benzenediol and a carboxylate.

  7. Carbonyl reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_reduction

    Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced respectively to primary and secondary alcohols. In deoxygenation, the alcohol group can be further reduced and removed altogether by replacement with H. Two broad strategies exist for carbonyl reduction. One method, which is favored in industry, uses hydrogen as the reductant.

  8. Stobbe condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stobbe_condensation

    The Stobbe condensation entails the reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with an ester of succinic acid to generate alkylidene succinic acid or related derivatives. [1] The reaction consumes one equivalent of metal alkoxide. Commonly, diethylsuccinate is a component of the reaction. The usual product is salt of the half-ester.

  9. Clemmensen reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clemmensen_reduction

    Clemmensen reduction is a chemical reaction described as a reduction of ketones or aldehydes to alkanes using zinc amalgam and concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl). [1] [2] This reaction is named after Erik Christian Clemmensen, a Danish-American chemist. [3] Scheme 1: Reaction scheme of Clemmensen Reduction.
