Abstract
A comparative study of the relative reactivity of saline borohydrides (Li, Na, Ca) for the reduction of carboxylic esters has been made in selected solvents (ether, tetrahydrofuran, diglyme, 2-propanol, and ethanol) at 25" C. In ether solvents the reactivity follows the trend LiBH4> Ca (BH4) 2> NaBH,. On the other hand, in alcohol solvents the order of reactivity is Ca (BH4) 2> LiBH,> NaBH4. The reactivities of LiBH4 in ethyl ether and THF, of Ca (BH,), ...
