SULFURATED BOROHYDRIDE EXCHANGE RESIN: A NOVEL REAGENT FOR SELECTIVE REDUCTION OF ALDEHYDES

Abstract

Selective reduction of aldehydes is carried out by using sulfurated borohydride exchange resin as a novel reducing reagent. Other sensitive groups like F, Cl, Br, NO₂, CN, OMe, ester and methylenedioxy remain intact under these reaction conditions. The isolation of pure products by simple filtration and evaporation is an important feature of this method.
