In this paper, the authors used microwave irradiation in open vessels using high-boiling solvents such as ethylene glycol (bp 198 °C) as the microwave energy transfer agent to reduce double bonds and hydrogenolysis of several functional groups.Abstract:
Catalytic transfer hydrogenation has been conducted under microwave irradiation in open vessels using high-boiling solvents such as ethylene glycol (bp 198 °C) as the microwave energy transfer agent Reduction of double bonds and hydrogenolysis of several functional groups were carried out safely and rapidly (3−5 min) at about 110−130 °C with 10% Pd/C as an efficient catalyst and ammonium formate as the hydrogen donor Diverse types of β-lactam synthons were prepared by the reduction of ring substituents containing alkene and alkylidene groups or conjugated unsaturated esters Cleavage of the β-lactam ring by hydrogenolysis of the N−C4 bond of 4-aryl-2-azetidinones was a facile reaction with 10% Pd/C as the catalyst; but no ring scission occurred when Raney nickel catalyst was employed Dehalogenation of aromatic compounds was also successful with ammonium formate and Pd/C catalyst Hydrogenolysis of phenylhydrazone of methyl benzoylformate gave the methyl ester of phenylglycine in excellent yield The teread more

Pd−C-Induced Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation with Triethylsilane
Pijus K. Mandal,John S. McMurray +1 more
TL;DR: In situ generation of molecular hydrogen by addition of triethylsilane to palladium-charcoal catalyst results in rapid and efficient reduction of multiple bonds, azides, imines, and nitro groups, as well as benzyl group and allyl group deprotection under mild, neutral conditions.

The Passerini Reaction
Luca Banfi,Renata Riva +1 more
TL;DR: The classic Passerini reaction is one of the oldest multicomponent reactions and is the first based on isocyanides to be discovered as mentioned in this paper, however, it does not react with carbonyl compounds in the absence of an acid.

Poly(ethylene glycol)-supported bisoxazolines as ligands for catalytic enantioselective synthesis.
TL;DR: Two chiral bisoxazolines (box) supported on a modified poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) have been prepared by a reaction sequence that involved formation of the properly functionalized box and their attachment to the polymer matrix by means of a spacer and a linker.
