2.5.1 Homogeneous Catalytic Hydrogenation of Carboxylic Acids, Anhydrides, Esters, Amides, and Acid Chlorides

Abstract

The homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of carboxylic acids and their derivatives, such as esters, amides, and anhydrides, is a fundamental reaction of potential importance for the synthesis of important organic building blocks in the polymer and pharmaceutical industries. The corresponding alcohols, amines, or aldehydes can be obtained by using various metal/ligand systems together with molecular hydrogen.

Key words

homogeneous catalysis - reduction - hydrogenation - carboxylic acids - esters - amides - acid chlorides - anhydrides - alcohols - amines - triphos ligands - pincer ligands - chemoselectivity - enantioselectivity - ruthenium - iron - manganese - cobalt - iridium
