Abstract
Aliphatic as well as aromatic acid chlorides are reduced smoothly into aldehydes at room temperature and atmospheric pressure by hydrogenation, using palladium on carbon as the catalyst, acetone or ethyl acetate as solvent and ethyldiisopropylamine as hydrogen chloride acceptor. The reaction has a high selectivity and under the conditions used, no overβreduction nor reduction of aromatic rings, of nitro and chloro substituents in benzoyl chlorides, or double bonds in cinnamoyl chlorides, was observed. The selectivity is probably the result of a combination of factors, such as selective adsorption of the acid chloride on the catalyst (with respect to the aldehyde) and partial poisoning of the catalyst surface by coβadsorption of ethyldiisopropylamine and its hydrochloride.

Efficient stereoselective synthesis of sphinganine by the asymmetric borane reduction of ctoxoketoxime trityl ethers is described. Both threo and erythro sphinganine could be obtained with high enantioselectivities by using borane-N,N-diethylaniline complex as a reducing agent.
