reduction of ketone to alcohol
Reduction of ketone to alcohol is a chemical reaction that involves the conversion of a ketone compound into an alcohol compound by adding hydrogen. This process reduces the carbon-oxygen double bond (C=O) in the ketone, replacing it with a single bond (C-OH) to form an alcohol functional group.
