Abstract

Reduction of aldehydes with 2-propanol proceeded efficiently by catalysis with hydrous zirconium oxide to give the corresponding alcohols. Most ketones also were reduced efficiently, but conjugated or sterically hindered ketones resisted the reduction. The reduction was carried out with primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols, and only secondary alcohols served as hydrogen donors. Kinetic experiments have indicated that the reaction ...
