Organic reductions or organic oxidations or organic redox reactions are redox reactions that take place with organic compounds. In organic chemistry oxidations and reductions are different from ordinary redox reactions because many reactions carry the name but do not actually involve electron transfer in the electrochemical sense of the word.〔March Jerry; (1985). Advanced Organic Chemistry reactions, mechanisms and structure (3rd ed.). New York: John Wiley & Sons, inc. ISBN 0-471-85472-7 〕 Simple functional groups can be arranged in order of increasing oxidation state. The oxidation numbers are only an approximation:〔 * oxidation number -4 for alkanes, * oxidation number -2 for alkenes, alcohols, alkyl halides, amines, * oxidation number 0 for alkynes, ketones, aldehydes, geminal diols, * oxidation number +2 for carboxylic acids, amides, chloroform and * oxidation number +4 for carbon dioxide, tetrachloromethane. When methane is oxidized to carbon dioxide its oxidation number changes from -4 to +4. Classical reductions include alkene reduction to alkanes and classical oxidations include oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes. In oxidations electrons are removed and the electron density of a molecule is reduced. In reductions electron density increases when electrons are added to the molecule. This terminology is always centered on the organic compound. For example, it is usual to refer to the reduction of a ketone by lithium aluminium hydride, but not to the oxidation of lithium aluminium hydride by a ketone. Many oxidations involve removal of hydrogen atoms from the organic molecule, and the reverse reduction adds hydrogens to an organic molecule. Many reactions classified as reductions also appear in other classes. For instance conversion of the ketone to an alcohol by lithium aluminium hydride can be considered a reduction but the hydride is also a good nucleophile in nucleophilic substitution. Many redox reactions in organic chemistry have coupling reaction reaction mechanism involving free radical intermediates. True organic redox chemistry can be found in electrochemical organic synthesis or electrosynthesis. Examples of organic reactions that can take place in an electrochemical cell are the Kolbe electrolysis.〔http://www.electrosynthesis.com (Link )〕 In disproportionation reactions the reactant is both oxidised and reduced in the same chemical reaction forming two separate compounds. Asymmetric catalytic reductions and asymmetric catalytic oxidations are important in asymmetric synthesis. == Organic oxidations == (詳細はoxygen. These oxidation include routes to chemical compounds, remediation of pollutants, and combustion. Several reaction mechanisms exist for organic oxidations: * Single electron transfer * Oxidations through ester intermediates with chromic acid or manganese dioxide * Hydrogen atom transfer as in Free radical halogenation * Oxidation involving ozone in ozonolysis and peroxides * Oxidations involving an elimination reaction mechanism such as the Swern oxidation, the Kornblum oxidation and with reagents such as IBX acid and Dess-Martin periodinane. * oxidation by nitroxide radicals Fremy's salt or TEMPO 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Organic redox reaction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
