Raney Ni-Al alloy in a dilute aqueous alkaline solution has been shown to be a very powerful reducing agent in the hydrogenation of phenol and alkylated phenols to the corresponding cyclohexanol derivatives.
Cyclohexane derivatives Q 0040Raney Ni-Al Alloy-Mediated Reduction of Alkylated Phenols in Water. -A New efficient method for the reduction of alkylated phenols to corresponding cyclohexanols using commercially available Raney-Ni is developed. However, a number of functional groups reduced under the given reaction conditions. -(TAN, S.-L.; LIU*, G.-B.; GAO, X.; THIEMANN, T.; J.
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.
