Ligand modification for the tuning of activity and selectivity in the chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls using EtOH as a hydrogen source

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: substituted PYA ligand, complex 3c, combined high activity and very high selectivity, affording almost exclusively the desired saturated ketone product with only traces of the saturated alcohol even after prolonged reaction times, underpinning the effectiveness of PYA ligand modulation in tailoring activity and selectivity.
