(Nicotine)(tetrahydroborato)zinc complex, [Zn(BH4)2(nic)], as a stable yellow solid, was prepared quantitatively by complexation of an equimolar amounts of zinc tetrahydroborate and Nicotine at room temperature. This reagent can easily reduce variety of carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, acyloins and α-diketones to their corresponding alcohols in good to excellent yields. Reduction reactions were performed in CH3CN at room temperature.

Zn(BH4)2 (0.5-2 mmol) in the presence of Al2O3 (1 mmol) reduces varieties of organic carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, acyloins, ?-diketones and ?, ?-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols. Reduction reactions were carried out in THF at room temperature in high to excellent yields of products. The chemoselective reduction of aldehydes over ketones was accomplished successfully with this reducing system. In addition, regioselectivity and exclusive 1,2-reduction of conjugated carbonyl compounds to their corresponding allylic alcohols in high to excellent yields was accomplished successfully with this reducing system.

A variety of carbonyl compounds are reduced to their corresponding alcohols with sodium borohydride under ultrasound irradiation and aprotic condition. Reduction reactions are performed in THF at room temperature or under reflux condition. The product alcohols were obtained in good to excellent yields. The chemoselective reduction of aldehydes over ketones was achieved successfully with this system.

NaBH4 in the presence of sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4·H2O), a weakly acidic reagent, efficiently reduces a variety of carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, α,β -unsaturated aldehydes and ketones, α-diketones and acyloins to their corresponding alcohols in acetonitrile under heterogeneous condition. Reduction reactions were accomplished at room temperature or under reflux condition

Zn(BH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (0.5-1.5 mmol) in the presence of charcoal (1 mmol) reduces a variety of organic carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, acyloins, α-diketones and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols. Reduction reactions were carried out in THF at room temperature in high to excellent yields. The chemoselective reduction of aldehydes over ketones was successfully accomplished with this reducing system. In addition, regioselectivity and exclusive 1,2-reduction of conjugated carbonyl compounds to their corresponding allylic alcohols was also performed in in high to excellent yields with this reducing system.

Aim and Objective: Ultrafine Ag/ZnO nanotetrapods (AZNTP) have been prepared successfully using silver (I)–bis (oxalato) zinc complex and 1, 3-diaminopropane (DAP) with a phase separation system, and have been injected into a diethyl/water solution. Materials and Methods: This crystal structure and lattice constant of the AZNTP obtained were investigated by means of a SEM, XRD, TEM and UV-vis spectrum. Results: The results of the present study demonstrated the growth and characterization AZNTP for humidity sensing and DAP plays a key role in the determination of particle morphology. AZNTP films with 23 nm in arm diameter have shown highly sensitive, quick response sensor material that works at room temperature.

α-Amino acids and α-amino methyl esters are easily converted to their N-monoalkyl derivatives by a reductive condensation reaction using several carbonyl compounds in the presence of sodium borohydride. This reducing agent has shown a wide versatility with minor but essential procedural variations. The reaction allows the α-monodeuterium labeling of the new N-substituent by use of sodium borodeuteride.Key words: α-amino acid, α-amino methyl esters, sodium borohydride, reductive N-monoalkylation, carbonyl compounds.
