P. Phukan et A. Sudalai, Chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds catalyzed by macrocyclic nickel (II)complex, SYN COMMUN, 30(13), 2000, pp. 2401-2405
Macrocyclic Ni(II) complex, 1, catalyzes efficiently the chemoselective tra
nsfer reduction of carbonyl compounds in presence of propan-2-ol / KOH or H
CO2H / HCO2NH4 as hydrogen donors to produce the corresponding alcohols in
high yield.
