$Hantzsch Dihydropyridine Synthesis Mechanism | Organic Chemistry The Hantzsch pyridine synthesis involves the condensation of two equivalents of a β-dicarbonyl compound, one equivalent of an aldehyde and one equivalent of ammonia. The immediate result from this three-component coupling, 1,4-dihydropyridine, is easily oxidized to a fully substituted pyridine. Saponification and decarboxylation of the 3,5-ester substituents leads to a 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridine. Music: His Last Summer – Infraction$

$L-Selectride Reduction Mechanism | Organic Chemistry The mechanism for the reduction of a ketone to an alcohol using L-Selectride. There are multiple reagents that have the formula M[HB(sec-Bu)3] which are all used as reducing agents. There are three different cations with these reducing agents and they are L-Selectride (lithium), N-Selectride (sodium), and K-Selectride (potassium). Due to the sec butyl groups on these reducing agents, these reagents are sensitive to steric influences which has the potential to allow for stereoselective reactions.
