    Reduction of alcohols involves gaining electrons to decrease the oxidation number, where alcohols are reduced by losing their hydroxyl group (-OH) and gaining hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups, forming alkanes or alkenes through redox reactions using reducing agents like lithium aluminum hydride or sodium borohydride.

    Reduction:

     Reduction involves a half-reaction in which a chemical species decreases its


    oxidation number, usually by gaining electrons. The other half of the reaction
    involves oxidation, in which electrons are lost. Together, reduction and oxidation
    form redox reactions (reduction-oxidation = redox).
