Iridium-catalyzed chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of α, β-unsaturated ketones to saturated ketones in water

A chemoselective iridium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of α, β-unsaturated ketones was realized in water. The C[dbnd]C double bonds of 2-benzylidene indanones and analogues were hydrogenated exclusively catalyzed by an iridium complex (0.1 mol%) bearin
