In chemistry, transfer hydrogenation is a chemical reaction involving the addition of hydrogen to a compound from a source other than molecular H 2.It is applied in laboratory and industrial organic synthesis to saturate organic compounds and reduce ketones to alcohols, and imines to amines.
The Guerbet reaction, reported in 1899, [5] is an early example of a hydrogen auto-transfer process. The Guerbet reaction converts primary alcohols to β-alkylated dimers via alcohol dehydrogenation followed by aldol condensation and reduction of the resulting enones.
The transition state of two transfer-hydrogenation reactions from ruthenium-hydride complexes onto carbonyls. Transfer hydrogenation uses hydrogen-donor molecules other than molecular H 2. These "sacrificial" hydrogen donors, which can also serve as solvents for the reaction, include hydrazine, formic acid, and alcohols such as isopropanol. [18]
An alternative, innovative and highly promising approach to convert LOHC-bound hydrogen into electricity is proposed recently. [1] The new unloading sequence consists of an almost thermoneutral catalysed transfer hydrogenation step converting ketone to secondary alcohol by contacting hydrogen-rich carrier (H18-DBT), and the secondary alcohol is then directly consumed in a PEMFC (direct ...
The Shvo catalyst is an organoruthenium compound that catalyzes the hydrogenation of polar functional groups including aldehydes, ketones and imines. The compound is of academic interest as an early example of a catalyst for transfer hydrogenation that operates by an "outer sphere mechanism". [1]
Reductions with hydrosilanes are methods used for hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of organic compounds.The approach is a subset of ionic hydrogenation.In this particular method, the substrate is treated with a hydrosilane and auxiliary reagent, often a strong acid, resulting in formal transfer of hydride from silicon to carbon. [1]
The Bamberger rearrangement is the chemical reaction of ... The starting phenylhydroxylamines are typically synthesized by the transfer hydrogenation of ...
A recent review by Shenvi and coworkers, [8] proposed that the Mukaiyama hydration operates via the same principles as metal hydride hydrogen atom transfer (MH HAT), elucidated by Jack Halpern and Jack R. Norton in their studies on hydrogenation of anthracenes by syngas and Co 2 (CO) 8 [9] and the chemistry of vitamin B 12 mimics, [10 ...
