Abstract
Abstract IN WHICH R1 is an alkyl radical containing up to 4 carbon atoms or an aryl radical containing at least 6 and at most 8 carbon atoms and w and z are integers from 2 to 4, 4. POLYETHER ALCOHOLS HAVING THE FORMULA HO(CH2)2O(CH2)wOR1 in which formula w, z and R1 has the same significance as hereinbefore, and 5. AMINO ALCOHOLS HAVING THE FORMULA R''''R''''''N(CH2)zOH in which R'''' and R'''''' are each a radical having the same significance as the R1 radical hereinbefore, or an alkoxyalkyl radical having the formula R1O(CH2)z, in which formulae R1 and z have the same significance as hereinbefore. Various organic compounds are reduced by reaction of the said compounds in solution in an organic solvent at an elevated temperature with a reducing agent that is soluble in the said organic solvent which reducing agent is a substituted sodium aluminum hydride having the formula NaAlHxQ4-x in which x is an integer from 1 to 3 and Q is an organic radical derived by the removal of an active hydrogen atom from an alcohol of the group consisting of 1. TETRAHYDROFURFURYL ALCOHOLS, 2. TETRAHYDROPYRANYL ALCOHOLS, 3. ETHER ALCOHOLS HAVING THE FORMULAE
