Application of alkali metal hydrides of nanometric size in reduction, cyclotrimerization and metalation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708005919

Reactions of some representative organic functional compounds by the alkali metal hydrides of nanometric size have been studied. Nitrobenzene, some aldehydes, esters and organic halides are reduced with good yield and high selectivity in many cases. Nitriles are cyclotrimerized and dimethyl sulfoxide is rapidly deprotonated.
