Abstract

... A ONE-STEP CONVERSION OF ESTERS TO SECONDARY ALCOHOLS WITH LiBH4-RMgX Daniel L. Comins" and James J. Herrick Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Utah State University, Logan, Utah 84322 ... When ethyl 3-phenylpropionate was added to % LiBH4-2 n-BuLi in THF (-2O"C), or if pBuLi (1 equiv) was added ~10~1~ dropwise to LiBH4-ethyl 3-phenylpropionate (l:l)(THF, -2O"C), tertiary alcohol was the main product. ...
