Alkyl cyclohexanes were synthesized in high selectivity via a combined hydrogenation/hydrodeoxygenation of aromaticketones using ligand-free RhCl3 as pre-catalyst in trifluoroethanol as solvent. The true catalyst consists of rhodiumnanoparticles (Rh NPs), generated in situ during the reaction. A range of conjugated as well as non-conjugated aromaticketones were directly hydrodeoxygenated to the corresponding
