description Product Description
N-Selectride is widely used in organic synthesis as a selective reducing agent, particularly for the reduction of ketones and aldehydes to their corresponding alcohols. Its sterically hindered structure allows it to preferentially reduce less hindered carbonyl compounds, making it valuable in complex molecule synthesis where chemoselectivity is crucial. It is also employed in the reduction of imines and enamines, often providing high yields and excellent stereocontrol. Additionally, N-Selectride is utilized in asymmetric synthesis, where it helps in generating chiral centers with high enantiomeric purity. Its application extends to the reduction of esters and lactones in specific cases, offering a useful alternative to other reducing agents.
