A combination of a catalytic amount of indium (III) chloride and sodium borohydride in acetonitrile reduces selectively the carbon-carbon double bonds in conjugated alkenes such as alpha,alpha-dicyano olefins, alpha,beta-unsaturated nitriles, cyanoesters, cyanophosphonate and dicarboxylic esters. However, reduction of chalcones is little different. They are reduced to a mixture of saturated ketones and alcohols if the reaction mixture is quenched with H2O, whereas quenching with MeOH leads to saturated alcohols only. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
