Cinnamaldehyde tosylhydrazone reduction
« on: December 18, 2012, 09:39:22 PM »
Given the well known tosylhydrazone derivative of cinnamaldehyde, would it be possible to reduce it to allylbenzne using sodium dithionite ?

This reducing agent wont reduce double bonds that are not conjugated in mild conditions... anyone with experience ?
