Abstract

Results and Discussion The optimum solvent and ratio of reagents were investigated by using 4-phenylacetophenone as substrate. Dichloromethane was found to be the solvent of choice. Reduction of Cphenylacetophenone to 4-ethylbiphenyl was complete in 1 h at room temperature. The optimum ratio of reagents was found to be 1: 3: 6, substrate to aluminum chloride to tert-butylamine-borane, respectively. Although a ratio of 1: 1: 3 also gave ...
