Synthetic organic chemists have a wide range of reagents for the alteration

of functional groups in organic compounds and the choice of usage is a continuous

challenge especially in the total synthesis of complex molecules. Oxidizing and

reducing agents play a vital role in the total synthesis of natural and synthetic

molecules having biological importance. In this chapter, we emphasize the recent

development of oxidizing and reducing agents in organic chemistry and their

importance in the field of synthesis. Heterogeneous nanocatalysts also emerged as

powerful catalysts employed in oxidation and reduction and are studied. Definitely,

oxidation-reduction in organic synthesis is an odyssey and it has ample association

with stereoselectivity, synthetic methods, catalysis, and green chemistry.

Keywords: Chemical transformations, Nanocatalysts, Natural products, Oxidation, Oxidizing agents, Recent advances, Reduction, Reducing agents, Synthetic organic chemistry, Total synthesis.
