Cao, Dawei published the artcileLight-driven MPV-type reduction of aryl ketones/aldehydes to alcohols with isopropanol under mild conditions, Name: Phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone, the publication is Green Chemistry (2021), 23(19), 7539-7543, database is CAplus.

Herein, a direct light-driven strategy for reducing ketones R1C(O)R2 (R1 = Ph, pyridin-2-yl, Bu, 1-benzofuran-2-yl, etc.; R2 = Ph, pyridin-2-yl, Me, pentyl, etc.) /aldehydes R3CHO (R3 = Ph, 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl, 1-benzofuran-2-yl, naphthalen-2-yl, etc.) to alcs. R1CH(OH)R2/R3OH using isopropanol as the reducing agent and solvent, in the presence of t-BuOLi, under an air atm. at room temperature is developed. This operationally simple light-promoted Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) type reduction can be used to produce various benzylic alc. derivatives as well as applied to bioactive mols. and PEEK model compounds, demonstrating its application potential.
