Abstrakt: Under mild reaction conditions, cinnamaldehyde was reduced to cinnamyl alcohol with high selectivity and conversion using nano-LiH or nano-NaH as a reducing agent. Selectivity of 99.8% was obtained as reduced by nano-LiH with conversion of 99.4% in short reaction times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
