In particular, the new catalytic system cobalt(II) chloride-diisopropylamine in combination with NaBH(4) showed excellent activity in the chemoselective reduction of a variety of carboxylic esters to their corresponding alcohols in good to excellent yields under mild conditions.</p>10aAlcohols10aamines10acatalysis10aEsters10areductions1 aJagdale, Arun, R.1 aParaskar, Abhimanyu, S.1 aSudalai, Arumugam  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/cobaltii-chloride-hexahydrate-diisopropylamine-catalyzed-mild-and-chemoselective-reduction-0
