What is the name of the simple sugar with the molecular formula CHO that reduces bismuth oxynitrate to bismuth under alkaline conditions?
Glucose Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula CHO. Glucose circulates in the blood of animals as blood sugar. It is made during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight. It is the most important source of energy for cellular respiration. Glucose is stored as a polymer, in plants as starch and in animals as glycogen.
Narasaka–Prasad reduction The Narasaka–Prasad reduction, sometimes simply called Narasaka reduction, is a diastereoselective reduction of β-hydroxy ketones to the corresponding "syn"-dialcohols. The reaction employs a boron chelating agent, such as BBuOMe, and a reducing agent, commonly sodium borohydride. This protocol was first discovered by Narasaka in 1984.
