L-selectride, is an organic compound. It is used in organic chemistry as a reducing agent, for example in the reduction of a ketone, as part of Overman's synthesis of strychnine.[1]
L-selectride reduces enones by conjugate addition of hydride, since it is too bulky to attack directly at the carbonyl carbon.[2]
N-selectride and K-selectride is the same compound but instead of lithium as cation they have sodium and potassium cations respectively.
