What is Sodium Dithionite: Reduction Reactions about?

Sodium dithionite is used to reduce a wide variety of functional groups. It reduces aldehydes and ketones to alcohols, conjugated ketones to saturated carbonyls, quinones to hydroquinones, and diunsaturated acids to monounsaturated acids. It also reduces azo groups to amines, nitro groups to amines, and nitroso groups to amines. Sodium dithionite selectively reduces carbon-carbon double bonds while leaving carbonyl groups intact. It is a versatile and inexpensive reducing agent.
