Broader, Greener, and More Efficient: Recent Advances in Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation

TL;DR: This Focus Review attempts to present a "holistic" overview on the advances in the area, focusing on the achievements recorded around the last three years, including more-efficient and "greener" metal catalysts, catalysts that enable hydrogenation as well as transfer hydrogenation, biomimetic and organocatalysts, and their applications in the reduction of C==O, C==N, and C==C bonds.

Selective reduction of carboxylic acid derivatives by catalytic hydrosilylation.

TL;DR: It is believed that catalytic hydrosilylations will be used more often in the future in challenging organic syntheses, as the reaction procedures are straightforward, and the reactivity of the silane can be fine-tuned.
