Scheme 1.1.30: Simplified mechanism of an aldol addition in a class II fructose-biphosphate aldolase. 1.1.4.8 Oxidations and Reductions Oxidation and reduction reactions, or simply redox reactions, are a complex class of reactions with diverse mechanisms. The procedure for determining the oxidation state of a carbon atom is similar to other compounds (Fig. 1.1.6): 1. For each bond to less electronegative atoms, such as a hydrogen atoms, count as -1
