Solventless Microwave Reductions of Ketones

Renee E. Fowble, Alicia B. Todaro, and Kevin Kittredge. Siena College, Loudonville, NY

Solvent less reductions of cyclohexanones are known. In this presentation the extension of that work to aliphatic, aromatic and other cyclic ketones will be discussed. The percent conversion to the reduced products will be determined by IR and NMR spectroscopy.
