A simple, energy efficient, and relatively quick synthetic procedure for the reduction of aldehydes under ultrasonic irradiation is reported. Satisfactorily isolated yields (71-96%) were achieved confirming that the preparation of alcohol by aldehyde reduction is possible in green and sustainable fashion.
