The results from various reductions implicate coordination of lithium as a significant factor involved in reduction mechanisms.enCopyright © 1985Regioselective bond cleavage and coordination effects in the reduction of some acetals with lithium in ammoniaJournal article003001007910.1016/S0040-4020(01)96640-2A1985AKD17000182-s2.0-0000888526130885Abell, A.D.
