Carbene Iridium Catalysts for Reversible Hydrogenation Storage in N-Heterocycles | ||
We developed an iridium complex containing an N-heterocyclic carbene that is highly active for the hydrogenation of quinoline as well as the dehydrogenation of tetrahydroquinoline at relatively low temperature, in high yields, and in the same medium without the need of an external hydrogen scavenger.
This work was carried out in the group of Prof. Dr. Martin Albrecht. References:
