Mn(0)-Mediated Chemoselective Reduction of Aldehydes. Application to the Synthesis of α-Deuterioalcohols
摘要:
A mild simple safe chemoselective reduction of different kinds to the corresponding alcohols mediated by the Mn dust/water system is described. In addition to this, the use of D2O leads to the synthesis of alpha-deuerated alcohols and constitutes an efficient inexpensive alternative for the preparation of these compounds.
