AbstractHydrogenation reactions are staple transformations commonly used across scientific fields to synthesise pharmaceuticals, natural products, and various functional materials. However, the vast majority of these reactions require the use of a toxic and costly catalyst leading to unpractical, hazardous and often functionally limited conditions. Herein, we report a new, general, practical, efficient, mild and high‐yielding hydrogen‐free electrochemical method for the reduction of alkene, alkyne, nitro and azido groups. Finally, this method has been applied to deuterium labelling.
摘要 氢化反应是科学领域常用的主要转化方法,用于合成药物、天然产品和各种功能材料。然而,这些反应中的绝大多数都需要使用有毒且昂贵的催化剂,导致条件不实用、危险且功能受限。在此,我们报告了一种新型、通用、实用、高效、温和且高产的无氢电化学方法,用于还原烯烃、炔烃、硝基和叠氮基团。最后,这种方法还被应用于氘标记。
