Oxidation and Reduction Summary: Terms that Describe Reaction Selectivity
A regioselective reaction forms predominantly or exclusively one constitutional isomer
A stereoselective reaction forms predominantly or exclusively one stereoisomer
An enantioselective reaction forms predominantly or exclusively one enantiomer
Definitions of Oxidation and Reduction
Oxidation reactions result in:
an increase in the number of C—Z bonds, or
a decrease in the number of C—H bonds
Reduction reactions result in:
a decrease in the number of C—Z bonds, or
an increase in the number of C—H bonds
Reduction Reactions
