Abstract
Cross-Cannizzaro reaction catalysed by active Ln(OH)3 formed in situ was developed for practicalreduction of aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols under a weakly basic aqueous condition. Improved functional group tolerance and selectivity were achieved using Et3N or DBU over dilute sodium hydroxide solution.
