Solvent-free direct reductive animation by catalytic use of an organotin reagent incorporated on an ionic liquid

摘要

An organotin reagent supported on an ionic liquid was used as a highly effective catalyst (down to 0.1 mol%) for the direct reductive animation of aldehydes and ketones using PhSiH_3; this solvent-free method facilitates purification of the products, thus minimizing the contamination by tin.
