Abstract

Undoubtedly the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reduction is one of the most classical, yet important organic transformations. 1-3 Advantages of the MPV reduction include its chemoselectivity, mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, safe handling, and ready adaptation both in the laboratory and on a large scale. 4 This reaction is applicable to various carbonyl substrates with aluminum alkoxides, generally Al (OPri) 3 as the catalyst ...
