Oxidations at Heteroatoms

In inorganic chemistry, the term reduction indicates a process in which a substrate gains electrons. Of course, the same is true in organic chemistry as well. Additional orientation is provided by the classes of compounds compiled in Tables 17.1 and 17.2. Because of their particular order, reductions can be described as transformations that convert any given compound into a compound in a column further to the left. As the tables reveal, reductions of 

The kinds of reagents that belong to the last group of reducing reagents were mostly already
