Carboxylic acids can undergo reduction reactions. Reduction is the opposite of oxidation. For example, ethanoic acid (CH 3 COOH) can be formed by the oxidation of ethanol as shown below.

THE conjunction in Nature of July 14 of the article by Dr. D. H. Hey entitled "The New Organic Chemistry" with the correspondence on olefinic-α-halogenation prompts me to offer some comments and ...

Foods which contain edible oils will spoil once exposed to oxygen from the air due to oxidation reactions. This chemical change results in a bad flavour and smell from the food. If left exposed to ...
