Abstract
Benzyltriphenylphosphonium tetraborate (BTPPTB) (1) generated as a white so lid from benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride and sodium borohydride has bee n found to be a selective and versatile reducing agent. The reagent in meth anol is very useful for reduction of aldehydes and ketones to the correspon ding alcohols.
