Reduction of natural enones in the presence of cerium trichloride

Journal of the Chemical Society Chemical Communications · 1978 · Vol. 0(14) · pp. 601–602

Abstract

The reduction of αβ-unsaturated ketones with sodium borohydride in methanol solution in the presence of cerium chloride gives almost exclusively the allylic alcohol, sometimes stereoselectively; the reduction of a variety of natural products containing a conjugated keto-group is described.
