Abstract

The catalytic hydrogenation (H2, Pd/C) of a set of BF2 complexes with a 1, 3-dicarbonyl structural unit leading to monocarbonyl compounds has been studied. The transformation presented is general for the aryl-substituted derivatives and occurs under mild conditions (H2, 1bar, 25° C) in methanol or THF.
