Remarkably Selective Reduction of the α,β-Carbon−Carbon Double Bond in Highly Activated α,β,γ,δ-Unsaturated Alkenes by the InCl3−NaBH4 Reagent System
摘要:
A combination of sodium borohydride and a catalytic amount of indium(III) chloride in acetonitrile reduces exclusively the alpha,beta-carbon-carbon double bond in alpha,beta,gamma,delta-unsaturated diaryl ketones, dicarboxylic ester, cyano-ester, and dicyano compounds.
