Which of the following is not a reducing agent?
is not a reducing agent; peroxides (compounds with the formula R-O-O-R) are oxidizing agents. A very common peroxide is sodium peroxide 
.
All of the other listed compounds are reducing agents.

This is a standard organolithium reaction.
The organolithium product can be thought of as a strong nucleophile. The carbon steals an electron from the lithium to create 
. From there, the highly reactive carbo-anion is free to attack the ketone at the site of its carbon to form a tertiary alcohol on the cyclohexane.

Which of the following compounds is not an oxidizing agent?
Which of the following compounds is not an oxidizing agent?
is the only answer choice that is not an oxidizing agent. In fact, it is a reducing agent because of the lack of oxygen atoms present. This compound adds hydrogen atoms to a compound, thereby reducing it.

Alkenes can be reduced in the presence of 
and a metal catalyst like platinum to hydrogenate the alkene to give a saturated alkane. The reaction occurs in a heterogeneous solution rather than a homogenous solution. It occurs on the presence of a solid surface of the metal catalyst.
Note that the three carbon-carbon double bonds in the aromatic ring in the presence of the reducing agent does not get reduced because they are extremely stable due to resonance.
