Arterburn,Pannala,Gonzalez,Chamberlin
, p. 7847 - 7849 (2000)
Catalytic transfer hydrogenation using palladium(II) chloride, formate and aqueous sodium hydroxide is effective for the reduction of unsaturated carboxylic acids, azalactones, and α-ketocarboxylic acids. This method is convenient, economical, avoids organic solvents, and uses a stable, nonpyrophoric catalyst. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
