What is another word for organic redox reaction?
Pronunciation: [ɔːɡˈanɪk ɹɪdˈɒks ɹɪˈakʃən] (IPA) 
An organic redox reaction can be described as a chemical reaction where electrons are transferred between organic molecules resulting in a change in oxidation states. Some synonyms for this type of reaction include oxidation-reduction, electron transfer, redox, and oxidation state changes. These reactions are important in many biological and industrial processes such as cellular respiration, metabolism, and electrochemistry. Examples of organic redox reactions include the oxidation of alcohols to form aldehydes or ketones, reduction of ketones to form alcohols, and oxidation of primary amines to form nitro compounds. Understanding organic redox reactions is essential for chemists and biochemists working to develop new drugs, fuels, and materials.
