Abstract
Benzyltriphenyltriphenylphosphonium borohydride (BTPPB) (1) generated as wh ite solid from benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride and sodium borohydride i s found to be a selective and versatile reducing agent. The reagent in meth anol is very useful for reduction of imines, enamines and reductive aminati on of aldehydes.
