Abstract
- Herein, a novel class of transfer hydrogenation agent, cycloheptanone, was successfully employed in metal-free hydrogenation facilitated by iodine. A series of alkenes, triphenylmethyl derivatives, and diphenylmethyl derivatives were reduced to the desired compounds in moderate to excellent yields. The transfer hydrodeuteration of alkenes using α-deuterated cyclododecanone exhibited high regioselectivity. Preliminary mechanism studies confirmed the origins of the two hydrogen atoms involved in the reduction of alkenes. The current study paves the way for the use of ketones as unique transfer hydrogenation agents in chemical synthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
