Mild and Convenient Method for Reduction of Aliphatic and Aromatic Carboxylic Acids and Anhydrides with (Pyridine)(Tetrahydroborato)Zinc Complex as a New Stable Ligand-Metal Tetrahydroborate Agent †
Structurally different aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids and anhydrides are efficiently reduced to their corresponding alcohols with a new modified zinc tetrahydroborate agent, (pyridine)(tetrahydroborato)zinc complex, [(Py)Zn(BH4)2], in refluxing THF.
