Abstract
A process for selective reduction is provided wherein an organic compound containing a reducible group such as acid, acid chloride, ester, aldehyde, ketone, epoxide, amide, oxime, imine, nitrile, or the like, is reacted with a tertiary amine alane such that an alcohol or an amine is produced, substantially without reduction of another group in the molecule such as a halogen-containing functionality, nitro group, or double bond.
