INTRODUCTION HISTORY GENERAL REACTION MECHANISM
OF THE REACTION STEREOCHEMISTRY APPLICATION REFERENCES2
INTRODUCTION 2The 1,4-reduction of aromatic rings to the corresponding unconjugated Cyclohexadienes by alkali metals (Li, Na, K) dissolved in liquid ammonia. In the presence of an alcohol is called the Birch Reduction. Heterocycles, such as pyridines, pyrroles, and furans are also reduced under this condition.
When the aromatic compound is substituted, the regioselectivity of the reduction depends on the nature of the substituent

The Birch Reduction was reported in 1944 by the Australian chemist Arthur Birch (19151995) working in the Dyson Perrins Laboratory in the University of Oxford.
The original reaction reported by Arthur Birch in 1944 utilized sodium and ethanol. Subsequently A. L. Wilds noted that better yields result with lithium.
