Abstract:

Zn(BH4)2 under ultrasonic irradiation is an efficient reducing system in CH3CN. This system reduces a variety of carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols at room temperature in high to excellent yields of the products. Also, a,b-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones was regioselectively reduced to the corresponding allylic alcohols.
