Abstract

A combination of benzyltriethylammonium borohydride and chlorotrimethylsilane (1:l) in dichloromethane (0-25OC) has been found to be a convenient reagent system for the selective reduction ofcarboxylicacidstoal cohols . ... Recently we reported our results on the facile and ... The mechanism of this reaction and active species ... Unlike borane this reagent system reduces benzoyl ... H3C(CH,),6 COOH 4 H3C (CH2) 16CH20H 97 ... H3C(CH2)3COOH 4 H3C(CH2)3 CH20H 85
