A versatile procedure for the direct conversion of ozo-nides to alcohols' would be a potentially valuable addition to the synthetic repertory. Several well-known reducing agents have been exploited for this purpose; however, all of these suffer from intrinsic limitations. Thus, lithium aluminum hydride efficiently reduces ozonide^,^,^ but it cannot be used in the presence of a variety of other functional groups. Sodium bor~ hydride,~~?~ while tolerant ...
