Chemoselective carbonyl reduction of functionalised aldehydes and ketones to alcohols with sodium dithionite

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808007041

Sodium dithionite efficiently reduces carbonyl functionalities of functionalised aldehydes and ketones to corresponding alcohols in good yields without effecting the other functional groups in water/dioxane system at 85°C.
