I-Q. Reductions

I. Basic Principles

The most important practical difference between oxidation and reduction is thatthe reduction of unsymmetrical ketones generates chiral secondary alcohols.Reduction is treated extensively in most organic text and reference books. Morethorough treatises can be found in:

The reduction of hindered halides with LAH proceeds predominantly by a single electrontransfer pathway (Ashby, E. C.; Welder, C. O. J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 3542).
