Tandem pinacol coupling–rearrangement of aromatic aldehydes with hydrogen catalyzed by a combination of a platinum complex and a polyoxometalate†
Abstract
Together with a strongly oxidizing polyoxometalate, H5PV2Mo10O40, PtII(N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)pyrazin-2-ylmethanimine)Cl2 forms a combined catalyst that was active in the tandem
