The Bouveault–Blanc reduction is a chemical reaction in which an ester is reduced to primary alcohols using absolute ethanol and sodium metal. : This reaction is an inexpensive and large-scale alternative to lithium aluminium hydride reduction of esters. ==Reaction mechanism== Sodium metal is a single-electron reducing agent, meaning the sodium metal will transfer electrons one at a time. Four sodium atoms are required to fully reduce each ester to alcohols. Ethanol serves as a proton source. : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bouveault–Blanc reduction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
