Reductions with Aluminum / NaOH ?
« on: March 04, 2014, 11:03:10 AM »
Aluminum in aqueous NaOH reacts vigorously and is very exothermic, liberating hydrogen gas.
Final product is highly alkaline.  Can this be used in place of aluminum amalgam reductions for basic or neutral reactants for metal surface mediated hydrogenations ?
