The Fast and Selective Reduction of Organic Halides by Lithium Hydrotri-s-butylborate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.58.789

Lithium hydrotri-s-butylborate is shown to be a powerful reducing agent in its reducing abilities toward organic halides and discriminates structurally different organic halides due to the bulkiness of the reagent.Essentially complete utilization of the hydride of the reagent for the reduction of organic halides is also of synthetic significance.
