A study of activated ketal reduction with borane dimenthyl sulphide

Carbonyl reduction to secondary alcohols is a fundamentally important reaction in organic chemistry and many reagents have been developed for achieving this transformation efficiently, with regard to both the optical and material yield. An alternative approach, popularized in recent times, is the di...
