ACTIVATION DE REACTIONS PAR LES POLYOXYDES D'ETHYLENE III. REDUCTIONS PAR L'EUTECTIQUE SODIUM-POTASSIUM

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(01)81714-7

Polyethylene oxides are efficient phase transfer catalysts which promote the reduction of C<*>C, C=C bonds as well as aromatic substrates by the Na-K eutectic.Yields and general conditions of the reaction give it a generally useful synthetic value.
