Abstract

Abstract The cobalt-catalyzed reduction of unsaturated α-cyano carboxylic esters using sodium borohydride (NaBH 4) leads to the corresponding saturated cyano alcohols in high yields. In particular, the new catalytic system cobalt (II) chloride-diisopropylamine in combination with NaBH 4 showed excellent activity in the chemoselective reduction of a variety of carboxylic esters to their corresponding alcohols in good to excellent yields ...
