Zr-Based MOF-808 as Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley Reduction Catalyst for Challenging Carbonyl Compounds

  • Eva Plessers,
  • Guangxia Fu,
  • Collin Yong Xiang Tan,
  • Dirk E. De Vos and
  • Maarten B. J. Roeffaers

19 July 2016

In the fine chemical industry, transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds is an important route to selectively form the corresponding allyl alcohol. The Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reduction (MPV) is catalyzed by a Lewis acid catalyst and easily oxidi...
