摘要
alpha-hydroxyesters 5a-g or diols 6a-g have been obtained in high yields by reduction of aromatic alpha-ketoesters 4 once or twice respectively by using NaBH4 as the reducer under suitable conditions. The use of a solvent that does not interact with the reagent allowed the double reduction to occur with only a slight excess of borohydride in very mild conditions. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
