Abstract
The discovery of an exceptionally facile reduction of acyclic and alicyclic carboxylic acids to alcohols by borane-tetrahedrofuran revolutionized the reduction of this ordinarily very resistant group for synthetic work. 4 We wish now to report an equally facile reduction of such carboxylic acids to aldehydes by thexylchloroborane-dimethyl s~ lfide.~ Numerous reagents have been proposed to achieve this objective. 6 Unfortunately, the ideal reagent ...
