METHOD OF REDUCING COMPOUNDS HAVING REDUCIBLE ELECTRONEGATIVE FUNCTIONALITY BY ALKALI METAL HYDRIDE

摘要

PROCESS FOR REDUCING COMPOUNDS HAVING REDUCTIBLE ELECTRO-NEGATIVE FUNCTIONALITY. / P P THIS METHOD CONSISTS IN IMPLEMENTING SAID REDUCTION IN A REACTIONAL MEDIUM WHICH COMPRISES A REDUCING AGENT CONSISTING OF A HYDRIDE OF AN ALKALI METAL, AND A CATALYST CONSISTING OF THE BOROHYDRIDE OF AN ALKALI METAL, AND AN ETHERE SOLVENT IN WHICH THE CATALYST FORMED BY THE BOROHYDRIDE IS SOLUBLE.
