Co(I)alamin as Catalyst. 1. Communication. Reduction of Saturated Nitriles in Aqueous Solution Using cob(I)alamin as homogeneous catalyst in the presence of aqueous acetic acid saturated nitriles 5a – m are reduced to the corresponding aldehydes 6a – m in good yields. A possible reaction mechanism for this reduction is discussed.
