Abstract

The combination of sodium borohydride and amberlyst-15 (H+) in tetrahydrofurane is a powerful reductor for unreactive ketones. The reduction is fast, high-yielding and the work-up is extremely simple. Ketals, silyl ethers and other organic functions are not disturbed during the reduction. ; This work was supported by the Spanish DGICYT (PB94-0028).
