The reduction of carboxylic acid esters to alcohols is commonly effected with a stoichiometric amount of a highly reactive metal-hydride reagent (e.g.LiAlH4).The amount of waste generated by this procedure would decrease strongly through the use of H2 as the reducing agent.The homogeneous ...
This serves as a way toindirectly reduce carboxylic acids to aldehydes. You can convert the carboxylic acid to an acid chloride using something like SOCl2or PCl3, and thenreducethe acid chloride to the aldehyde with LiAlH[OC(CH3)3)]3 What is the advantage of using LiAlH(Ot-Bu)3, relative...
carboxylic acid esters (benzene compoundsA modified work-up procedure for the lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) reduction of esters and other carbonyl compounds is described. The one pot procedure converts an ester to its homo-reverse ester and other carbonyl compounds to esters. The key step is...

methyl sulfide and LiAlH4 differ considerably in their reactivity toward other functional groups5, the borane methyl sulfide reagent constitutes a valuable alternative to LiAlH4 for chemically modifying nitroxide carboxylic acids which also bear other functional groups susceptible toward reduction by LiAlH4...

This leads to resonance stabilization, rendering the carbonyl group less electrophilic than the carbonyl of other carboxylic acid derivatives (see Box 1). Taking into account this, amides with a lesser electron density at the carbonyl group such as N-aryl amides, formamides and, as even more ...
28 It was also possible to selectively reduce one enantiomer of racemic disubstituted pyrrolines with very high selectiv- ities.88 Unfortunately, these very selective catalysts operate at rather low s/c ratios and, in addition, functional groups like esters, carboxylic acids, or nitriles are not ...
