Magnesium-tin(II) chloride dihydrate: A new system for chemoselective reduction of aldehydes into alcohols in the presence of ketones, ketalization of ketones and dehalogenation of benzyl halides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086257

Magnesium-tin (II) chloride dihydrate in THF efficiently reduced aldehydes into their corresponding alcohols chemoselectively in the presence of ketones, formed ketals with ketones and glycol and dehalogenated benzyl halides.
