OXIDATION AND REDUCTION IN ORGANIC …
OXIDATION AND REDUCTION IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRYIn ionic and free radical reactions, OXIDATION and REDUCTION are defined as processes by which an elementundergoes a net loss or gain of electrons, respectively. The concept as applied to ORGANIC covalent compounds,where elements share electrons rather than losing or gaining them is the same, but it s frequently simplifiedand narrowed down to make it easier to recognize these processes. Therefore it must be kept in mind that,while the following definition is grossly simplified, it serves the goal of quickly identifying OXIDATION andreduction processes in many ORGANIC reference to ORGANIC molecules, OXIDATION is a process by which a carbon atom gains bonds to moreelectronegative elements, most commonly oxygen. REDUCTION is a process by which a carbon atom gainsbonds to less electronegative elements, most commonly following chart summarizes these concepts when applied to ORGANIC transformations.
The chart presented before shows the oxidation and reduction states for a molecule that contains only one carbon. But most organic compounds contain more than one carbon.
