ChemInform Abstract: Solvent-Mediated Chemoselective Reduction of Aldehydes by Using Tributyltin Hydride in Methanol, Aqueous Organic Solvents, or Water: An Environmentally Benign Process.

Abstract

Abstract Aldehydes are reduced chemoselectively by using tributyltin hydride in methanol, aqueous organic solvents, or water to provide the corresponding alcohols in high yields. No additional catalyst is required.
