Abstract
Synthesis of novel water‐soluble monotosylated ethylenediamines and their application in ruthenium and iridium‐catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes are described. Various aldehydes, including electron‐deficient and electron‐rich variants, were reduced with high conversions and chemoselectivity using sodium formate as a hydrogen source in neat water.
