ChemInform Abstract: One‐Pot Conversion of Carboxylic Acids to Aldehydes Through Treatment of Acyloxy‐9‐borabicyclo(3.3.1)nonanes with Lithium 9‐Boratabicyclo‐(3.3.1)nonane.

Abstract

ChemInform Abstract The 9-acyloxy-9-borabicyclononanes (III) are reduced with lithium 9-boratabicyclononane to yield the aldehydes (IV). The method is also applied to the synthesis of dialdehydes such as (VI).
