2′-C-Methyluridine phosphoramidite: a new building block for the preparation of RNA analogues carrying the 2′-hydroxyl group

Surgical reduction: N-Heterocyclic carbene-borane complexes such as depicted are neutral, organic soluble analogues of borohydride anions with a weak hydridic character, compatible with organometallic catalysis. They are applicable for surgical reductions in complex, multifunctional molecules. © 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

Synthetically useful reactions with nickel boride. a review

NaBH 4 in wet THF can readily reduce varieties of carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, conjugated enones, acyloins, and α-diketones to their corresponding alcohols in good to excellent yields. Reduction reactions were performed at room temperature or under reflux condition. In addition, the chemoselective reduction of aldehydes over ketones was accomplished successfully with this reducing system.
