Abstract

2-Phenylbenzimidazoline (PBI) as a mild, selective, and convenient reducing agent was efficiently generated in situ from o-phenylenediamine and benzaldehyde in alcohols. A generally applicable method for the selective reduction of carbon–carbon double bonds of a variety of electron-deficient olefins with an alcoholic solution of PBI is described. The reduction of α, β-unsaturated ketones to the corresponding saturated ketones could also ...
