Q
Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Reactivity
A
(most reactive) acyl halides > anhydrides > esters/acids > amides (least reactive)

Reducing Agents
A
NADPH/NADH
LiAlH4
NaBH4 (weak - does not reduce carboxylic acids/esters)
DiBAlH
NiH2
PdH2
Fe2+
2-mercaptoethanol (denatures proteins by breaking disulfide bonds for SDS-PAGE)

Q
Oxidizing Agents
A
PCC - weak (does not oxidize to carboxylic acids)
KMnO4
Na2Cr2O7
I2 & other halogens
H2O2
