Abstract: A polymeric borohydride anion reducing reagent(BER)was prepared from homemade 711# strong basic anion-exchange resin and potassium borohydride,The BER has a capacity of.2mmol BH4Θ/g. The procedure of ester reduction by using this polymeric reductant was simple and gave a higher yield of alcohols.The polymeric reductant can be regenerated and used repeatedly.

Key words: polymeric reductant, borohydride, anion, ester
