P-Chlorobenzaldehyde, by reduction

Cations, cyclopropenyl, 54, 97 o-Chlorobenzaldehyde, by reduction of o-chlorobenzonitrile with Raney nickel alloy in formic acid, 51, 23 p-Chlorobenzaldehyde, by redaction of p-chlorobenzonitflle with Raney nickel alloy,1 51, 22... 

Reduction of carbonyl groups Terpene and aromatic aldehydes (lOOppm) were reduced by microalgae. In a series of chlorinated benzaldehyde, m - or p-chlorobenzaldehyde reacted faster than the o-derivative. Due to toxicity, the substrate concentrations are difficult to increase. Asymmetric reductions of ketones by microalgae were reported. Thus, aliphatic " and aromatic " ketones were reduced. 

This procedure is to be avoided with steam-volatile aldehydes (e.g., p-chlorobenzaldehyde) in which case the reduction product is isolated by solvent extraction.4...
