In this paper we describe the reduction by NaBH4 of some cyclopentanones containing an
oxygenated function at the side chain position beta to the carbonyl group, both in the …

The previously used method for determining the kinetics of sodium borohydride reduction of
cyclo-hexanones was shown to be inadequate, giving rise to small errors leading to …

Abstract The reduction of 2-alkoxycarbonyl-2-allyl-cyclopentanone derivatives with
inexpensive boron hydrides were studied showing that this process depend on chelation …

The stereochemistry of β-hydroxyesters produced in the NaBH 4 reduction of alicyclic β-
ketoesters has been determined. An enhanced rate of reduction has been observed for …

The kinetic order with respect to 2-propanol in the reduction of cyclohexanone by sodium
borohydride is found to be 1.5, and an acyclic mechanism is proposed; in consequence of …

Since the discovery of sodium borohydride by Schlesinger, Brown and co-workers. 1 its use
in the reduction of ketones has presented the organic chemist with a continual series of …
