Iridium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones and Aldehydes Using Glucose as a Sustainable Hydrogen Donor

Iridium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones and Aldehydes Using Glucose as a Sustainable Hydrogen Donor

A new catalytic system for transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds using glucose as a hydrogen donor was developed. Various ketones and aldehydes were efficiently converted to corresponding alcohols with two equivalents of glucose in the presence of a small amount (0.1 to 1.0 mol%) of iridium c...
