We consider reducts of the structure R = [R, +, ., <] and other real c
losed fields. We compete the proof that there exists a unique reduct b
etween [R, +, <, lambda(a)]a is-an-element-of R and R, and we demonstr
ate how to recover the definition of multiplication in more general co
ntexts than the semialgebraic one. We then conclude a similar result f
or reducts between [R, ., <] and R and for general real closed fields.
