An MPV is also a Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reduction. According to the internet: "The aluminium-catalyzed hydride shift from the a-carbon of an alcohol component to the carbonyl carbon of a second component, which proceeds via a six-membered transition state, is referred to as the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley Reduction (MPV) or the Oppenauer Oxidation, depending on which component is the desired product."
Minibus for me, please.
ReplyDeleteI had to google MPV. MPV is the same principle as those trousers you can turn into shorts by unzipping the legs.

ReplyDeleteHave enjoyed both explanations of the MPV. Both remind of drinking, in a pleasant, responsible way.
