“…[3] Recently, the Glorius group successfully made use of the [RhCl(CAAC)(COD)] complex (CAAC = cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene, COD = cyclooctadiene) for chemoselective hydrogenation of fluoroarenes, fluoropyridine, silylarenes and aryl boronic esters. [4,5] In 2021, proof-of-concept was achieve in showcasing the potential of [Rh(acac)(CO)(NHC)] (1) (acac = acetylacetonato) complexes in selective hydrogenation of aryl ketones, [6] but this area remains underexplored.…”
