Highly Selective Vapor and Liquid Phase Transfer Hydrogenation of Diaryl and Polycyclic Ketones with Secondary Alcohols in the Presence of Magnesium Oxide as Catalyst

Highly Selective Vapor and Liquid Phase Transfer Hydrogenation of Diaryl and Polycyclic Ketones with Secondary Alcohols in the Presence of Magnesium Oxide as Catalyst

MgO has been shown to catalyze an almost quantitative hydrogen transfer from 2-octanol as the hydrogen donor to benzophenone to form benzhydrol, a useful intermediate product in the pharmaceutical industry. The hydrogen transfer from a series of alcohols to the carbonyl group of benzophenone, its te...
