Bis-1,4-dihydronicotinamides. Intramolecular electronic interaction and its consequence in the reduction of a carbonyl substrate in aprotic solvents
Abstract
The reduction of hexachloroacetone in CH2Cl2 or CHCl3 was much enhanced in the presence of 1,6-bis(1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamido)hexane owing to an intramolecular electronic interaction of charge transfer character.
