Abstract

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) is an alternative reduction method that can be used in the synthesis of many organic compounds. With supported noble-metal catalyst, CTH has been used for the reduction of nitro compounds and azides to amines and dehalogenation of mono- and polychlorinated aryl compounds. [ 9-12 View all references ] As an ecofriendly reductive method, CTH has attracted increasing attention. However, CTH can hardly be used in the ...
