Heterocyclic carbene complexes of nickel, palladium, and copper(I) as effective catalysts for the reduction of ketones*

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Carbene complexes of nickel, palladium, and copper(I) effectively catalyze the reduction of aromatic ketones under the influence of 2-propanol in the presence of potassium hydroxide. Bis(1,3-dimethylbenzimidazol-2-ylidene)copper(I) iodide and the polymeric complex of crown-biscarbene with copper(I) iodide show the highest catalytic efficiency.
