摘要: The reduction of the carbonyl group aldehydes and ketones to corresponding alcohol is ubiquitous in organic synthesis. Since first report by diborane more than half a century ago,1 metal hydride reagents have achieved preeminence as choice for performing this synthetic transformation. opportunities variation metal, ligands, counterion reaction conditions enabled most problems stereo-, regio- or chemo-selectivity synthesis be overcome satisfactorily. majority complex hydrides described chapter that exhibit useful reducing properties are readily available from commercial sources, which has contributed enormously their widespread acceptance application.
