Abstract

Abstract A new reducing system comprising Pd (OAc) 2 and NaBH4 in methanol to generate palladium nanoparticles has been efficiently utilized to reduce a variety of unsaturated carbonyl compounds. These were reduced to their corresponding saturated alcohols and fully saturated compounds in selected cases. This protocol presents alternative and mild reaction conditions for reduction.
