An ambient pressure, direct hydrogenation of ketones
Literature Information
Long Zhang, Zhiyao Lu, Andrew R. Rander, Travis J. Williams
We report two bifunctional (pyridyl)carbene-iridium(I) complexes that catalyze ketone and aldehyde hydrogenation at ambient pressure. Aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl groups are demonstrated, and mechanistic studies reveal an unusual polarization effect in which the rate is dependant of proton, rather than hydride, transfer. This method introduces a convenient, waste-free alternative to traditional borohydride and aluminum hydride reagents.
