Abstract

Transfer hydrogenation using liquid hydrogen carriers as the direct proton sources under mild conditions has received extensive attention in the research area of organic synthesis. The emerging photocatalytic water-donating transfer hydrogenation (PWDTH) is a promising alternative over the conventional hydrogenation technology due to the advantages of being eco-friendly. This paper focuses on the recent advances in the rising and rapidly developing field of PWDTH reactions, devoted to elucidating the mechanism of the hydrogen transfer process and rationalizing the design principles of efficient photocatalysts. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities are described.
