Abstract Reduction plays a crucial role in organic synthesis. A large number of organic syntheses involve reduction at some stage. This volume presents the array of reducing agents and their applications in reductions. A number of regents of importance are described in great detail. The book also includes reduction of specific types of organic compounds.
