Abstract
Abstract Selective reduction of three kinds of substrates were studied to evaluate the reducing abilities of N,N-dimethyl-benzimidazolidine (DMBI), 2-phenylbenzimidazoline (PBI) and 2-phenylbenzothiazoline (PBT). As hydride donors, these three five-membered heterocyclic compounds performed different reducing abilities depending on the substrates.
