Pinacol as a New Green Reducing Agent: Molybdenum- Catalyzed Chemoselective Reduction of Sulfoxides and Nitroaromatics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pinacol is described as a new chemoselective and environmentally benign reducing agent for sulfoxides and nitroaromatics assisted by readily available dichlorodioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes as catalysts. A wide range of substrates including those bearing challenging functional groups have been efficiently and selectively reduced being acetone and water the only byproducts of these reactions.
