Abstract

Abstract The reaction of a series of aldehydes and ketones with readily prepared cobalt or titanium nanoparticles, under mild reaction conditions, led to the obtention of different reductive dimerization products depending on the nature of the transition metal used. Cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) allowed the selective transformation of the starting carbonyl compounds into vicinal diols, whereas the reaction promoted by titanium nanoparticles ( ...
