The approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of excess potassium 9-sec-amyl-9-boratabicylco[3.3.1]nonane (K 9-sec-Am-9-BBNH) with selected organic compounds containing representative functional goups under standardized conditions (tetrahydrofuran, $0^{\circ}C)$ were examined in order to explore the reducing characteristics of the reagent for selective reductions. The reagent readily reduces aldehydes, ketones, acid chlorides and epoxides to the corresponding alcohols. However, carboxylic acid, aliphatic nitriles, t-amides, and some sulfur compounds show very little reactivity or no reactivity to this reagent. The most interesting feature of the reagent is that aromatic nitriles are reduced moderately to the corresponding aldehyde stage, wheras aliphatic nitriles are inert. In addition, the reagent shows a high stereoselectivity toward cyclic ketones at $0^{\circ}C$ and - $25^{\circ}C.$ The selectivity exhibited at $0^{\circ}C$ is comparable to that by lithium trisiamylborohydride at that temperature.

The general reducing charagteristics of a newly synthesized reducing agent, lithium(2.3-dimethyl-2-butyl)-${\iota}$-butoxyborohydride (Li $Thx'BuOB_2$, 1), in tetrahydrofuran (THF) toward selected organic compounds containing representative fundtional groups under practical has been examined. The reagent revealed an interesting and unique reducing characteristics. Especially, the stereoselectivity in the reduction of cyclic ketones was extraordinary. Thus, the introduction of bulky alkyl and alkoxy groups into the parent borohydride affonds a high stereoselectivity. In general, the reducing power of the reagent is somewhere between the dialiylborohydride and the parent borohydride. This permits the reagent to be a reagent of choice for selecitive reduction of organic compounds with an improved selectivity.

Reactions of alkenes and alkynes with the recently discovered isopinocampheylhaloborane-methyl sulfide (IpcBHX·SMe2, X=Cl, Br, I) were investigated in detail in order to establish their usefulness as hydroborating agents. The reagents readily hydroborated alkenes at 50 ℃ and alkynes at 25 ℃ with excellent regioselectivity in placing the boron atom exclusively at the less hindered carbon atom. Especially, the selectivity achieved by the iodo derivative reaches essentially 100%. In addition to that, IpcBHX·SMe2 was applied to the reduction of cyclic ketones to examine its stereoselectivity. The halogen substituent in these reagents plays an important role in the stereoselective reduction. The stereoselectivity increased dramatically with increasing steric size of the substituent. Finally, the iodo derivative achieved highly stereoselective reduction, such selectivity being comparable to that previously achieved with trialkylborohydrides.

The carbonyl stretching vibration, νC=O of 2-cyclohexene-1-one, is in Fermi resonance with a combination tone. The amount of Fermi resonance interaction between these two modes is dependent upon the amount of solute/solvent interaction due to hyd rogen bonding between the carbonyl oxygen and the solvent proton. The corrected νC=O frequency of 2-cyclohexene-1-one occurs at a lower frequency than the observed νC=O mode of cyclohexanone, possibly caused by expanded conjugation effects. The carbonyl stretching modes of cyclic ketones were also affected by interaction with the ROH/CCl4 mixed solvent system.

Reactions of alkenes and alkynes with thexylhaloborane-methyl sulfide (ThxBHX${\cdot}$SMe$_2$, X= Cl, Br, I) were investigated in detail in order to elucidate the effect of halogen substituent in thexylborane and hence establish their usefulness as hydroborating agent. The reagents readily hydroborated alkenes at $50^{circ}C$and alkynes at $25^{circ}C$ in exceptional regioselectivity. Especially, the selectivity achieved by the bromo and iodo derivative reaches essentially 100%. In addition to that, $ThxBHX{\cdot}SMe_2$ was applied to the reduction of cyclic ketones to examine its stereoselectivity. The halogen substituent in thexylborane plays an important role in the stereoselective reduction. The stereoselectivity increased dramatically with increasing steric size of the substituent. Finally, the iodo derivative achieved highly stereoselective reduction, such selectivity being comparable to that previously achieved with trialkylborohydrides.

The addition of one mole of zinc chloride to 2.33 moles of sodium borohydride in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature gave a clear chloride-free supernatant solution of zinc borohydride after stirring three days and standing at room temperature.The approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of zinc borohydride with 54 selected organic compounds were determined in order to test the utility of the reagent as a selective reducing agent. Aldehydes and ketones were reduced rapidly, aromatic ketones being somewhat slowly, and the double bond of cinnamaldehyde was not attacked. Acyl halides were reduced rapidly within one hour, but acid anhydrides were reduced at a moderate rate. Carboxylic acids, both aliphatic and aromatic, were slowly reduced to alcoholic stage. Esters were inert to this reagent but a cyclic ester, γ-butyrolactone, was slowly attacked. Primary amides were reduced slowly with partial evolution of hydrogen, whereas tertiary amides underwent neither reduction nor hydrogen evolution. Epoxides and nitriles were all inert, as well as nitro, azo, and azoxy compounds. Cyclohexanone oxime and phenyl isocyanate were reduced slowly but pyridine was inert. Disulfide, sulfoxide, sulfone and sulfonic acids were stable to this reagent.

The approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of excess sodium tris(diethylamino)aluminum hydride (ST-DEA) with selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups under standardized conditions(tetrahydrofuran, $0{\circ}$) were studied in order to characterize the reducing characteristics of the reagent for selective reductions. The reducing ability of STDEA was also compared with those of the parent sodium aluminum hydride (SAH) and lithium tris(diethylamino)aluminum hydride (LTDEA). The reagent appears to be milder than LTDEA. Nevertheless, the reducing action of STDEA is very similar to that observed previously for LTDEA, as is the case of the corresponding parent sodium and lithium aluminum hydrides. STDEA shows a unique reducing characteristics. Thus, benzyl alcohol, phenol and 1-hexanol evolved hydrogen slowly, whereas 3-hexanol and 3-ethyl-3-pentanol, secondary and tertiary alcohols, were essentially inert to STDEA. Primary amine, such as n-hexylamine, evolved only 1 equivalent of hydrogen slowly. On the other hand, thiols examined were absolutely stable. STDEA reduced aidehydes and ketones rapidly to the corresponding alcohols. The stereoselectivity in the reduction of cyclic ketones by STDEA was similar to that by LTDEA. Quinones, such as p-benzoquinone and anthraquinone, were reduced to the corresponding 1,4-dihydroxycyclohexadienes without evolution of hydrogen. Carboxylic acids and anhydrides were reduced very slowly, whereas acid chlorides were reduced to the corresponding alcohols readily. Esters and epoxides were also reduced readily. Primary carboxamides consumed hydrides for reduction slowly with concurrent hydrogen evolution, but tertiary amides were readily reduced to the corresponding tertiary amines. The rate of reduction of aromatic nitriles was much faster than that of aliphatic nitriles. Nitrogen compounds examined were also reduced slowly. Finally, disulfide, sulfoxide, sulfone, and cyclohexyl tosylate were readily reduced without evolution of hydrogen. In addition to that, the reagent appears to be an excellent partial reducing agent: like LTDEA, STDEA converted ester and primary carboxamides to the corresponding aldehydes in good yields. Furthermore, the reagent reduced aromatic nitriles to the corresponding aldehydes chemoselectively in the presence of aliphatic nitriles. Consequently, STDEA can replace LTDEA effectively, with a higher selectivity, in most organic reductions.

The approximate rates and stoichiometries of the reaction of lithium borohydride, with fifty two selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups under the standard condition (tetrahydrofuran, $0^{\circ}$), were studied.Among the active hydrogen compounds,primary alcohols and compounds containing an acidic proton liberated hydrogen relatively fast, but secondary and tertiary alcohols very sluggishly. All the carbonyl compounds examined were reduced rapidly within one hour. Especially, among the ${\alpha}{\beta}$-unsaturated carbonyl compounds tested, the aldehydes consumed one hydride cleanly, however the cyclic ketones consumed more than one hydride even at $-20^{\circ}$. Carboxylic acids were reduced very slowly, showing about 60% reduction in 6 days at $25^{\circ}$, however acyl chlorides reduced immediately within 30 minutes. On the other hand, the reductions of cyclic anhydrides proceeded moderately to the hydroxy acid stage, however the further reductions were very slow. Aromatic and aliphatic esters, with exception of the relatively moderate reduction of acetate, were reduced very slowly, however lactones were reduced at a moderate rate. Epoxides reacted slowly, but amides and nitriles as well as the nitro compounds were all inert to this reagent. And cyclohexanone oxime and phenyl isocyanate were reduced very sluggishly. Last of all, all sulfur compounds studied were inert to this hydride.

The new MPV-type reagents, B-acetoxydiisopinocampheylborane ($Ipc _2$BOAc) and B-trifluoroacetoxydiisopinocampheylborane $(Ipc _2BO _2CCF _3)$, have been prepared and their reducing characteristics in the reduction of carbonyl compound have been examined in order to find out a new reducing system with unique applicability in organic synthesis. In general, the reactivity of $Ipc _2BO _2CCF _3$ appears to be stronger than that of $Ipc _2$BOAc, presumably due to the acidity increase by the electron-withdrawing fluorine-substituent. Both reagents show an excellent selectivity in 1,2-reduction of $\alpha,\beta$-unsaturatedcarbonyl compounds and in competitive reduction between structurally different carbonyl compounds. In addition, $Ipc _2BO _2CCF _3$ shows interesting features in the stereoreduction of cyclic ketones.
