✦ Synopsis

Chemoselectivity of Lithium Aluminum Hydride-(±)threo-1,16dibenzyloxy,7,8-dihydroxy Hexadecane-methanol Complex in Reduction of Carbonyl Compounds. -The title aluminum hydride reagent is used for chemo-and stereoselective reduction of carbonyl compounds. Aldehydes like (I) are selectively reduced in the presence of highly reactive ketones such as (II) and (VI). Stereoselectivity in reduction of substituted cyclohexanones is observed. -(MALKAR, N.
