Veratryl alcohol was synthesized through the reduction of sodium borohydride from veratraldehyde with isopropanol as solvent, followed by solvent extraction and distillation under reduced pressure.

The compounds are obtained by using carvone as an initial raw material through chlorination reaction, condensation reaction, sodium borohydride reduction and Huang Min-lon reduction reaction.

In this article, the mechanism and the methods used for the reduction of carboxylic acids, esters, amides, acid chloride, amino acids and the...
