Abstract

Reactions of bis (trifluoroacetoxy) borane-THF (1) with compounds containing representative organic functional groups were studied to determine the usefulness of 1 as a selective reducing agent. Reducible functionalities were indoles, ketones, aldehydes, imines, and compounds that readily generate carbocations in trifluoroacetic acid. Many functionalities were inert to 1. Epoxides and ortho esters suffered decomposition under the ...
