Abstract
A novel and sustainable strategy, using earth abundant Cu2O as catalyst and biorenewable HCOOH/HCOOK as hydrogen donor for the efficient hydrogenation of multiple unsaturated compounds, including internal and terminal alkynes, ketones, aldehydes, and imines, has been developed to access high-value chemicals with high chemoselectivity. This protocol features operation simplicity, wide substrate applicability, and only CO2 as a byproduct. Additionally, gram-scale experiments and the modification of biologically active molecules all exemplified the synthetic versatility of this protocol.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
