## Abstract The rates for the reduction of ketones with sodium borohydride are interpreted in terms of two parameters, both derived from forceβfield calculations; __i.e.__ the strain difference between alcohol and ketone (Ξ strain) and the steric hindrance towards approach of the hydride R. Models
## Abstract Aldehydes, ketones and imines were readily reduced by sodium borohydride, with the participation of a small amount of water, in good to excellent yields using PEG400 as catalyst in the absence of organic solvents. Copyright Β© 2005 Society of Chemical Industry
