Abstract
A series of ketones and aldehydes are reduced in toluene under H2 in the presence of 5 mol % B(C6F5)3 and either cyclodextrin or molecular sieves affording a facile metal-free protocol for reduction to alcohols. Similar treatment of aryl ketones resulted in metal-free deoxygenation yielding aromatic hydrocarbons.Entities:
