Abstract
Some heteroaromatic esters were reduced to the corresponding alcohols by using a sodium borohydride–methanol system. The reduction was completed within 0.15–2.0 h in refluxing THF. The alcohol products were isolated after aqueous workup in moderate to excellent yield (48–97%).Keywords: Heteroaromatic esters, sodium borohydride–methanol, reduction Document Type: Research Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00397910500214482 Publication date: 18 de Maio de 2005
