Resumen en español Los compuestos carbonílicos como aldehidos, cetonas, aciloínas, α–dicetonas y compuestos carbonílicos α,β–insaturados se reducen con Zn(BH4)2 (0.5–1.5 mmol) conteniendo carbón (1 mmol) a los alcoholes correspondientes. Este sistema reductor permite la reducción quimioselectiva de aldehidos en presencia de cetonas y la reducción regioselectiva de compuestos carbonílicos insaturados a los alcohols alílicos correspondientes con rendimientos de buenos a excelentes
Resumen en inglés Zn(BH4)2 (0.5–1.5 mmol) in the presence of charcoal (1 mmol) reduces a variety of organic carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, acyloins, α–diketones and α,β–unsaturated carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols. Reduction reactions were carried out in THF at room temperature in high to excellent yields. The chemoselective reduction of aldehydes over ketones was successfully accomplished with this reducing system. In addition, regioselectivity and exclusive 1,2–reduction of conjugated carbonyl compounds to their corresponding allylic alcohols was also performed in in high to excellent yields with this reducing system
