<b>Facile enantioselective palladium catalysed transfer hydrogenation of α-methylcinnamic acid in the presence of optical pure organic acids</b>
An efficient and enantioselective method for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of the C=C double bond of α-methylcinnamic acid with the aid of chiral organic acids as the hydrogen donors and palladium(II) chloride as the catalyst is reported. Enantiomeric excess was assayed using optical ro...
