Sodium hydride was employed as a Michael donor under the catalysis of PdCl 2 for 1,4conjugate reductions of a, b-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, which features operational simplicity, mild conditions and high atom-economy. The merits of NaH as a reductant were demonstrated by the one-pot or cascade reactions for the syntheses of complex molecules.
Herein, a convenient hydrodehalogenation method was described by employing less-explored calcium hydride as the reductant. A wide range of organic halides such as aromatic bromides, aromatic chlorides, aromatic triflates, aliphatic...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
