A wide range of substrates including those bearing challenging functional groups has been efficiently and selectively reduced with acetone and water being the only by-products of these reactions PB Wiley-VCH Verlag SN 1615-4150 YR 2012 FD 2012-02 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10259/3890 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10259/3890 LA eng NO Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (MICINN) and FEDER (CTQ2010-15358 and CTQ2009-09949/BQU) and Junta de Castilla y Leon (BU021 A09 and GR-172) for financial support.
