Study Notes
Oxidation in Organic Chemistry
- The relevant criterion for organic oxidation is the loss of one or more electrons.
- In oxidations, the electron density of a molecule decreases.
Reduction in Organic Chemistry
- Classical reductions in organic chemistry include the addition of hydrogen or other reagents to a molecule.
- Many oxidations involve the removal of one or more hydrogen atoms from a molecule.
