Notes:
A variant of the reduction with lithium aluminium hydride (LAH), involving the complex of LAH with a high-molecular-weight, linear poly(N-methylethyleneimine) (PMEI), is described. The reduction of simple aldehydes, ketones, or esters was found to proceed essentially within the solid LAH-PMEI complex suspended in pentane and the resulting pure alcohols can be isolated by working up only the separated solid phase.
