Title: Meyer's Auxillary Reduction
Post by: AlphaScent on November 01, 2019, 04:53:08 PM

Does anyone have any procedures for the reduction of the Meyer's auxiliary to the alcohol.  The literature says the reducing agent LAB (lithium amidotrihydroborate) works very well.  The problem being the NH₃*BH₃ is crazy expensive.

Any thought are appreciated

Cheers!
