t-BuCl-NaI as a Reagent for the Selective Reduction of Olefinic Double Bond of β-Phenyl α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.60.3421

β-Phenyl α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were conveniently reduced to the corresponding saturated aromatic compounds by heating with t-BuCl-NaI in acetonitrile.
