Killing double bonds softly: the reduction of polymer-bound alkenes?

RSC Advances Pub Date: 2012-09-19 DOI: 10.1039/C2RA22189F

Abstract

Alkenes can be reduced through “transfer hydrogenation” with dimethylamine-borane adduct and Wilkinson's catalyst. This reaction can also be carried out by solid-phase synthesis as a heterogeneous reaction. Furthermore, the behaviour of various functional groups under hydrogenation conditions was tested.
