Selective reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols with ammonia borane in neat water

Chemoselective reduction of various carbonyl compounds to alcohols with ammonia borane (AB), a nontoxic, environmentally benign, and easily handled reagent, in neat water was achieved in quantitative conversions and high isolated yields. Interestingly, α-

在纯水中，使用无毒、环境友好且易于操作的氨硼烷（AB）试剂，将各种羰基化合物化学选择性地还原为醇，实现了定量转化和较高的分离产率。有趣的是，α -
