Abstract
The reduction of tertiary amides by lithium di-and triethoxyaluminohydrides, conveniently synthesized in situ by the reaction of ethyl alcohol with lithium aluminum hydride, was explored as a useful synthetic route from the carboxylic acid to the corresponding aldehyde. With the exception of the highly hindered amide derivative~, N-diisoproppl-n-butyramide, a wide variety of n-butyryl tertiary amides were readily converted into n-butyraldehyde in ...
