Zirconocene chloride hydride is capable of facilitating an efficient reduction process, converting tertiary amides into aldehydes while tolerating the presence of esters. When alkynes and alkenes undergo hydrozirconation with Schwartz's reagent, zirconium-containing products are generated, ...
Rongalite generates in situ sulfite anions. Hence, sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate can serve both as a reducing agent and as a reagent for sulfone synthesis.
