Abstract

A method for the rapid, safe hydrogenation of alkenes and deprotection of benzyl ethers and carboxybenzyl amides is described using catalytic transfer hydrogenation under microwave heating conditions. Commonly available Pd/C catalyst is extremely effective with 1, 4- cyclohexadiene as the hydrogen transfer source. In general, the reactions are complete within five minutes at 100° C.
