Supramolecular Catalyst for Aldehyde Hydrogenation and Tandem Hydroformylation–Hydrogenation

The chemoselective reduction of aldehydes and the tandem hydroformylation–hydrogenation of terminal alkenes are possible with a supramolecular catalyst that operates by a novel mechanism involving substrate activation by hydrogen bonding and subsequent metal–ligand bifunctional hydrogenation (see scheme).
