Abstract
A rhodium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of functionalized arenes in the presence of tetrahydroxydiboron offers good functional group tolerance, operational simplicity and controllable chemoselectivity. The general applicability of this procedure is demonstrated by the selective hydrogenation of a range of arenes, including functionalized benzenes, biphenyls, and polyaromatics.
