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.

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.

A variety of conjugated enones are reduced regioselectively to their corresponding allylic alcohols with NaBH4 under ultrasound irradiation. Reduction reactions were performed in THF at room temperature and the product alcohols were obtained in high to excellent yields. This system is also efficient for the reduction of α-diketones and acyloins to vicinal diols.

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

(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.
