ketone reduction in pharmaceutical synthesis
Ketone reduction in pharmaceutical synthesis refers to the use of specific chemical reactions to convert ketones, a functional group with a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom, into other desired organic compounds. This process plays a crucial role in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical drugs by facilitating the formation of important intermediates or final products that exhibit desired biological activities.
