A transition metal- and hydride-free protocol has been developed for the chemoselective reduction of α-keto esters and α-keto amides using rongalite as a reducing agent. Here, rongalite acts as a hydride-free reducing agent via a radical mechanism. This protocol offers the synthesis of a wide range of α-hydroxy esters and α-hydroxy amides with 85-98% yields. This chemoselective method is compatible with other reducible functionalities such as halides, alkenes, amides, and nitriles. The use of inexpensive rongalite
