Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) Water as solvent: A fast, selective, and high-yielding transfer hydrogenation of a wide range of aldehydes is achieved using IrIII catalysts containing simple ethylene-diamine (en) ligands (see scheme; Ts = p-toluenesulfonyl, TOF = turnover frequency). This procedure is suitable for aldehydes with a wide range of functional groups.
