摘要

The partial reduction of ,-unsaturated esters and benzoate derivatives to form the corresponding aldehydes was achieved using a flow reactor system within 1 s at a high flow rate (18 mLmin(-1)) under cryogenic conditions (-97 degrees C). Commercially available diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAL-H) was used as the reductant. The desired enals and benzaldehyde derivatives, except for 4-methoxycinnamate and 4-methoxybenzoate, were formed selectively and redox economically in moderate to high yields.
