abstract
A green chemistry methodology for fast and simple bioreduction of aromatic aldehydes to their corresponding aromatic alcohols was achieved using an extract of Aloe vera in aqueous suspension. Under microwave irradiation, this reaction was performed in a short reaction time. This methodology is an alternative preparation for aromatic alcohols that are extensively utilized as industrial and cosmetic reagents.
