Mechanistic aspects of transition metal-catalyzed hydrogen transfer reactions.

• A review. In this tutorial review recent mechanistic studies on transition metal-catalyzed hydrogen transfer reactions are discussed. A common feature of these reactions is that they involve metal hydrides, which may be monohydrides or dihydrides. An important question is whether the substrate coordinates to the metal (inner-sphere hydrogen transfer) or if there is a direct concerted transfer of hydrogen from the metal to substrate (outer-sphere hydrogen transfer). Both exptl. and theor. studies are reviewed. [on SciFinder(R)]
