An operationally simple and environmentally benign formal hydrogenation protocol has been developed using highly abundant iron(iii) salts and an inexpensive, bench stable, stoichiometric reductant, NaBH4, in ethanol, under ambient conditions. This reaction has been applied to the reduction of terminal alkenes (22 examples, up to 95% yield) and nitro-groups (26 examples, up to 95% yield). Deuterium labelling studies indicate that this reaction proceeds via an ionic rather than radical mechanism.
Poly(ethylene glycol) (400) as superior solvent medium against ionic liquids for catalytic hydrogenations with PtO2

Adams' catalyst in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (400) has been found to be a superior solvent over the ionic liquids by severalfold in promoting the hydrogenation of various functional groups. Both the catalyst and PEG were recycled efficiently over 10 runs without loss of activity, and substrate cross contamination was not observed despite a change in the substrate four times.

Benzenetellurol is shown to behave as an effective reagent for the reductive conversion of carbonyl compounds into unsymmetrical ethers under the catalytic influence of ZnI2.
