Abstract

Recently Mg–MeOH has evoked considerable interest as an inexpensive and efficient reagent for a variety of organic transformations. 1 The dissolving metal reducing system generated by this reagent combination provides a convenient electron transfer/protic source for the reduction of C–C double bonds and triple bonds attached to esters, nitriles, amides and other carbonyls, 1 reduction of azides, 2 reductive coupling of nitroarenes, 3 dehalogenation of ...
