Brønsted Acid Catalysed Aerobic Reduction of Olefins by Diimide Generated In Situ from Hydrazine

Abstract

Abstract Aerobic reduction of olefins with hydrazine was proven to be efficiently catalysed by readily available Brønsted acids, such as p-tolu­enesulfonic acid monohydrate, providing hydrogenated products in very good yields and chemoselectivity under mild conditions.
