Chemistry LibreTexts - Reduction of Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives
Collection of a variety of benchtop techniques for reducing carboxylic acids to either aldehydes or primary alcohols. Don't worry too much about the nitty gritty here, because the new MCAT does not tend in its emphasis towards the benchtop side of organic chemistry but much more towards the role of organic chemistry in the biochemical context.
