Abstract

Because several reduction reactions such as reductive amination and reductive etherification have been developed in alcohol. One of our efforts6 View all references to explore the utility of decaborane as a hydrophobic reducing agent led us to find that aldehydes using decaborane in aqueous solution were efficiently reduced to the corresponding alcohols. Herein we report the chemoselective reduction of various aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols using ...
