Reduction reactions are an important area of study in organic synthesis and are used to synthesize a variety of compounds. In particular, the reduction of lactones to their respective lactols or hemiacetals is important for the synthesis of biologically active modified carbohydrates which are often used in drug design. The reduction of the sugar-based lactones to their respective lactols with lithium triethyl borohydride (LiEt3BH) will be the focus of this project. The efficiency of this reagent to reduce sugar lactones to sugar hemiacetals (lactols) will be studied under different reaction parameters to develop an efficient protocol for its uses. The parameters will include temperature, solvent, time and amount of reducing agent for the re...
