ketone reduction in natural product synthesis
Ketone reduction in natural product synthesis refers to the chemical process of converting ketones, which are organic compounds containing a carbonyl group (C=O), into a different type of compound while synthesizing naturally derived substances. This reduction reaction plays a crucial role in modifying the molecular structure and functional groups of ketones to create complex and diverse natural products with a wide range of biological activities.
