Abstract

Aldehydes are important building blocks used as reactive intermediates in organic and total synthesis. Their preparation from primary alcohols through oxidative pathways or from carboxylic derivatives by reductive methods is still challenging, as they are usually more reactive than the starting materials towards both oxidation and reduction, and this higher reactivity often leads to chemoselectivity issues.[1] For the specific reduction of esters to ...
