A cyclometalated rhodium complex has been shown to perform highly selective and efficient reduction of aldehydes, deriving the hydrogen from methanol. With methanol as both the solvent and hydrogen donor under mild conditions and an open atmosphere, a wide range of aromatic aldehydes were reduced to the corresponding alcohols, without affecting other functional groups.
环金属化铑配合物已显示出高度选择性和有效地还原醛,从而从甲醇中衍生出氢。在温和条件和开放气氛下,使用甲醇作为溶剂和氢供体,在不影响其他官能团的情况下,将大量的芳族醛还原为相应的醇。
