Abstract

Nickel-aluminum alloy in aqueous sodium hydroxide-ethanol medium brings about facile hydro-enolrsis of benzyl ether function in substrates carrying a vicinal methoxy group. Simplicity of the reaction conditions and cheapness of the reagent are some of the advanrages of the procedure. Additionally, carbonyl functions when present are untouched and alkaline medium of the reaction makes it compatible with the presence of acid-sensitite groups.
