Tetracarbonylhydridoferrate prepared from pentacarbonyliron and alkali metal hydroxide has been shown to be a convenient, selective reagent for carbonylation and/or reduction of a variety of organic functional groups such as a nitro group, an acetyenic bond, olefinic bond of conjugated diene, enamine, and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, alkyl halides, and olefin oxides. We have recently been engaged in ruthenium-catalyzed reactions and developed some novel reactions. Prompted by these findings and intrigued by diverse reactivities of ruthenium catalysts, we have directed our attention to the transfer hydrogenation of ketones by alcohols only to discover the formation of unconventional transfer hydrogenation products. Here we are pleased to report our new findings. |
