SETAMDIDEH, Davood  and  KHALEDI, Leila. Zn(BH₄)₂/2NaCl: A novel reducing system for efficient reduction of organic carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols. S.Afr.j.chem. (Online) [online]. 2013, vol.66, pp.00-00. ISSN 1996-840X.

Zn(BH₄)₂/2NaCl, obtained by the reaction of ZnCl₂ and NaBH₄ ,is a stable, efficient and selective reducing system in dry-THF. The Zn(BH₄)₂/2NaCl system (0.5-1 mmol) reduces a variety of carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols in CH₃CN at room temperature in high to excellent yields.

Keywords : Reduction; carbonyl compounds; Zn(BH₄)₂; chemoselective; regioselectivity; NaCl.
