Abstract
A diboron‐mediated rhodium‐catalysed transfer hydrogenation system using water as the hydrogen donor is developed. In addition to a series of alkenes with good functional group tolerance, this rhodium‐based catalytic system also effectively reduces aldehydes and ketones. A plausible mechanism involving the RhI‐catalysed hydrogen generation and Rh0‐catalysed hydrogenation is proposed for the reaction.
