Abstract

Abstract Reduction of epoxide into the corresponding saturated alcohol is an important synthetic transfornation. Various reagents to bring about such a conversion have been reported in the literature1. An important aspect of such a transformation is the regioselective opening in case of unsymmetrical epoxides. Numerous modifications of the existing reducing agents have also been reported1 to meet with the regioselective requirements. ...
