Low-valent germanium and tin hydrides as catalysts for hydroboration, hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), and hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of heterocumulenes

Abstract

The low-valent germanium and tin hydrides, [LMH; L = {(ArHN)(ArN)-C=N-C=(NAr)(NHAr); Ar = 2,6-Et2-C6H3}; M = Ge; (Ge-1), Sn (Sn-2) ] bearing bis-guanidinato anion are employed as catalysts for chemoselective reduction...
