Pd-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation of Alkenes Using Tetrahydroxydiboron as the Sole Hydrogen Donor

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Tetrahydroxydiboron-mediated catalytic transfer hydrogenations have typically involved co-additives that, like tetrahydroxydiboron itself, are H atom donors. Herein we report an alkene transfer hydrogenation method with tetrahydroxydiboron as the sole source of H atoms. The reaction uses Pd(OAc)2 as a convenient putative colloid pre-catalyst, and cyclic monoethers are competent solvents. Highly efficient alkene deuteration is demonstrated using tetradeuteroxydiboron.
