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. Application of the Guerbet reaction to the development of ethanol-to-butanol ...
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 ...
Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen (H 2) and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel, palladium or platinum. The process is commonly employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds. Hydrogenation typically constitutes the addition of pairs of hydrogen atoms to a molecule ...

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]
In synthetic organic chemistry, formic acid is often used as a source of hydride ion, as in the Eschweiler–Clarke reaction: The Eschweiler–Clark reaction It is used as a source of hydrogen in transfer hydrogenation , as in the Leuckart reaction to make amines , and (in aqueous solution or in its azeotrope with triethylamine ) for ...
Shuttle catalysis is used to describe catalytic reactions where a chemical entity of a donor molecule is transferred to an acceptor molecule. [1] In these reactions, while the number of chemical bonds of each reactant changes, the types and total number of chemical bonds remain constant over the course of the reaction.
