Catalytic properties of tin-containing mesoporous molecular sieves in the selective reduction of carbonyl compounds (Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley (MPV) reaction)

Lithium Bromide as a Flexible, Mild, and Recyclable Reagent for Solvent-Free Cannizzaro, Tishchenko, and Meerwein−Ponndorf−Verley Reactions

“…Both reactions are usually conducted under the influence of stoichiometric or excessive amounts of trivalent aluminum-based catalysts . Recent developments in this area involve the use of various Lewis acidic reagents, , heterogeneous catalytic systems, , and supercritical solvents. , Nevertheless, design of new procedures to improve the conditions for these reactions in a milder and less expensive environment would be of interest.…”

Theoretical Study on the Selective 1,2‐Reduction of α,β‐Unsaturated Ketones by Hydrogen Transfer Reaction on MgO(100)

“…This reaction is called hydrogen transfer reduction (HTR) and the mechanism involves the formation of a cyclic intermediate between both reactants known as "Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reaction" (MPV reaction) in Organic Chemistry. [1][2][3][4][5][6] The selective reduction reaction towards the unsaturated alcohol formation instead of its corresponding saturated ketone (i. e., the hydrogenation of the C=O bond instead of the C=C bond) is a great challenge because it is thermodynamically unfavorable. Obtaining primary and secondary unsaturated alcohols is important as they are intermediates widely used in the production of cosmetics, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and food flavorings.…”
