Oxymercuration-Reduction of Alkenes

9.3K
Oxymercuration–reduction of alkenes is one of the major reactions converting alkenes to alcohols. It involves the hydration of alkenes with mercuric acetate in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and water, forming an organomercury adduct. This is followed by a demercuration step in which the adduct is reduced to an alcohol using sodium borohydride.

Block Diagram Reduction01:22

Block Diagram Reduction

553
The process of deriving the transfer function of a control system often involves reducing its block diagram to a single block. This simplification can be achieved through a series of strategic operations, including relocating branch points and comparators. These operations preserve the overall function of the system while allowing for easier manipulation and combination of blocks.
The first step in this process is the identification and relocation of a branch point. A branch point, where a...

Phase I Reactions: Reductive Reactions01:27

Phase I Reactions: Reductive Reactions

590
Phase I biotransformation reductive reactions are chemical processes that modify drugs by introducing or revealing polar functional groups via reduction. Enzymes called reductases catalyze these reactions, playing a pivotal role in drug metabolism by transforming lipophilic drugs into more polar, water-soluble metabolites for easy excretion. An essential type of reductive reaction is the carbonyl group reduction, where aldehydes and ketones are reduced to alcohols. An example is the...

Esters to Alcohols: Hydride Reductions01:17

Esters to Alcohols: Hydride Reductions

4.7K
Esters are reduced to primary alcohols when treated with a strong reducing agent like lithium aluminum hydride. The reaction requires two equivalents of the reducing agent and proceeds via an aldehyde intermediate.
Lithium aluminum hydride is a source of hydride ions and functions as a nucleophile. The mechanism proceeds in three steps. Firstly, the nucleophilic hydride ion attacks the carbonyl carbon of the ester to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Subsequently, the carbonyl group re-forms,...

Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction

12.3K
Reduction is a simple strategy to convert a carbonyl group to a hydroxyl group. The three major pathways to reduce carbonyls to alcohols are catalytic hydrogenation, hydride reduction, and borane reduction.
Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional breast reduction methods often fail to achieve desired upper pole fullness.
  • Recurrent breast ptosis (sagging) is a common issue following standard reduction procedures.
  • Implants can enhance upper pole volume and improve long-term breast aesthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining breast reduction with implants.
  • To assess the impact of this combined technique on long-term breast shape and ptosis recurrence.
  • To present surgical indications, techniques, and patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 366 patients undergoing combined breast reduction/mastopexy with implants.
  • Data collected from January 2014 to November 2017 at IM Clinic.
  • Analysis of surgical indications, techniques, complications, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Average follow-up of 2 years with no major complications.
  • Minor complications in 12.6% of patients, with 46 requiring revision surgery.
  • Most common complications included dog ears (7.6%), poor scarring (4.9%), and capsular contracture (0.8%).

Conclusions:

  • Combined breast reduction with implants is a safe and reliable option for enhancing upper pole volume and improving long-term breast shape.
  • This technique effectively addresses ptosis recurrence.
  • Complication and revision rates are comparable to traditional breast reduction or augmentation mastopexy.
