Abstract

The reactivity of sodium borohydride with respect to the reduction of the carbethoxy group in unsubstituted esters is increased by the introduction of a sulfinyl group in the α or β positions. This effect is decreased only slightly by steric hindrance due to the presence of bulky groups in the α or β positions. This behaviour is compared to that of the corresponding α and β sulfenyl carboxylic esters.
