Abdol R. Hajipour, S. E. Mallakpour, Ali Najafi

Abstract

Benzyltriphenylphosphonium tetraborate (BTPPTB) (1) generated as a white solid from benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride and sodium borohydride has been found to be a selective and versatile reducing agent. The reagent in methanol is very useful for reduction of aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding alcohols
