Abstract
Diversely substituted Knoevenagel products were subjected to reduction with NaBH4 in MeOH/pdioxane solution at 70 oC. Selectively reduction of their C=C double bond was achieved in all cases. Reduction conditions tolerated a variety of functional groups although simple aldolic or Claisen-Schmidt products showed to be less selective toward C=C reduction and on the contrary C=O bond was reduced under these reaction conditions. Additionally, selectivity of the NaBH4-mediated chemical reduction was compared with the classical Raney-Nickel-mediated catalytic hydrogenation in order to find similarities and differences. Moreover, trying to explain the selective NaBH4-mediated reductive process a plausible mechanistic pathway was proposed in this regard.
