Regioselective Reduction of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds to Allylic Alcohols by Vapor Phase Hydrogen Transfer Reaction over MgO-B2O3 Catalyst

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1992.1345

Regioselective reduction of α,β-unsatureted carbonyl compounds to the corresponding allylic alcohols was performed effectively by vapor phase hydrogen-transfer reaction over MgO-B2O3 (Mg/B = 100/2) catalyst using secondary alcohols as hydrogen donor.
