OXIDATION REDUCTION REACTION: In organic chemistry, oxidation-reduction reactions, commonly referred to as redox reactions, involve the transfer of electrons between reactants. Redox reactions play a crucial role in the transformation of organic compounds by changing the oxidation state of the participating atoms. The reactant that loses electrons is oxidized, while the reactant that gains electrons is reduced.
