👉 Deoxidization, also known as oxidation by hydrogenation or hydrolysis, is a process in which organic compounds are converted into less reactive and more stable compounds. This process can occur during several stages of chemical reactions such as the condensation of alcohols with water to form carbon dioxide and water, or the condensation of esters with water to form ketones. The goal of deoxidization is to reduce the overall molecular weight of organic compounds by forming less reactive intermediates that are
