Abstract
A novel method for selective reduction of aromatic carbonyl compounds by phosphorus acid under metal-free conditions is achieved to produce the corresponding reduced products in good to excellent yields. By using H3PO3/I2 system, various aromatic ketones and aldehydes could be reduced to the corresponding hydrocarbons. Diketone compounds could also be reduced to the corresponding Z-alkenes. The protocol is low-cost and easily scaled up, which provides a simple and practical approach to access corresponding hydrocarbons.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
