✦ Synopsis

Recently, the preparation of sodium-bie-(2_methoxyethoxy)aluminiumhydride NaAlR2COCH2CH20CH3)2 was reported (1). This reducing reagent differs significantly from any other complex hydride by its solubility in arematic hydrocarbons and increased stability on air; it is, therefore hoped that this new hydride mey find a number of applications (2). In the present paper, we summarize the preliminary results of reduction of typical organic functional groups by sodium-bis-(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminiumhydride. Table I
