Reduction O 0220Homogeneous Electro-Mediated Reduction of Unsaturated Compounds Using Ni and Fe as Mediators in DMF. -It is found that carbonyl compounds and conjugated olefins can successfully undergo homogeneous electro-mediated reduction. Non-conjugated olefins, however, do not react under these conditions. With α,β-unsaturated ketones, amides, and aldehydes chemoselective reduction is possible. -(DA SILVA, A. P.; MOTA, S. D.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
