Abstract
Water-soluble rhodium complex generated in situ from [Rh(COD)Cl]2 and triphenylphosphine trisulfonate (P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3, TPPTS) has been found to be a quite effective catalyst for transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones with isopropanol, under basic conditions. Thus, various aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and ketones were selectively converted to the corresponding alcohols indicating the wide synthetic scope of the catalytic system. This latter can also be successfully recycled and re-used with only negligible loss of catalytic activity.
