Poly(n-butyl-4-vinylpyridinium) borohydride as a new stable and efficient reducing agent in organic synthesis

Sodium borohydride is stabilized on poly(n-butyl-4-vinylpyridinium) chloride, and it is used as an efficient and regenerable polymer-supported borohydride reagent for the reduction of a variety of carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes, ketones, α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, α-diketones, and acyloins.
