Silica gel catalyzed selective reductions by NAD(P)H models

Recently, our research group has concentrated our efforts on the study of s ynthetic utilities of NAD(P)H models. Silica gel was found to effectively a ctivate substrates and NAD(P)H models and to catalyze reductions with uniqu e selectivities. In this review, we summarize our recent findings on some h ighly selective reductions by NAD(P)H models useful for organic synthesis.
