Organic Chemical Reaction Diagram

The image displays two distinct organic reduction reactions. The upper reaction shows a ketone, specifically octan-2-one, being reduced to a secondary alcohol, octan-2-ol. The lower reaction illustrates the reduction of octanoic acid, a carboxylic acid, into a primary alcohol, octan-1-ol. Both transformations represent classic examples of functional group reduction.
