Abstract

Abstract The chemoselective reduction of several structurally diverse compounds containing carbonyl groups was achieved in the presence of low-valent titanium reagents. This novel synthetic method provides easy access to highly selective reduction of carbonyl groups, and possesses several advantages including one-step procedure, convenient manipulation, good to excellent yields, and short reaction times.
