Reductions by the Alumino- and Borohydrides in Organic Synthesis

The book provides the organic chemist with an indispensible tool for the reduction of organic compounds. The reactions are described in sufficient detail to allow an organic chemist, whether student or professional, to carry them out in the laboratory. In all reduction reactions the author mentions the organic compounds which can be reduced with these reagents and those which can not. Reactions are classified in such a manner that the book is easy to use even for the less experienced chemist.
