Reduction Reactions
- Note: for these reactions, high temperatures and pressures are needed, along with a catalyst
- Review: reduction means me will see (more/less)lessbonds to O and (more/less)morebonds to H
- A common reduction agent you may seem on tests is H2! (Adds bonds to H)
1) Reduction of an Aldehyde to form a
primary alcohol
2) Reduction of a Ketone to form a
secondary alcohol
3) Review: Reduction of an Alkene ->
Alkane
(Addition reaction aka Hydrogenation reaction)
