General description

Triphenylgermanium hydride is a hydrogen donor.

Application

Catalyst for:
  • Conjugate reduction of ortho-substituted cinnamic esters to form copper enolates
  • Chemoselective preparation of alcohols via hydrogenation of aldehydes
  • 1,2-addition/transmetalation reactions
  • Synthesis of monomer for preparation of phosphorus- and silicon-containing epoxy resins
  • Hydrosilylation reactions
  • Chiral hydrogenation reactions
  • Hydrostannation of activated alkynes
Some useful synthetic applications of (Triphenylphosphine)copperhydride hexamer include stoichiometric and catalytic hydrogenations, chemoselective conjugate reductions, as well as regiospecific and stereoselectiveconjugate hydride reductions.

A structural, spectroscopic, and computational investigation of Stryker's reagent, [HCu{P(C6H5)3}]6, and its isotopomers has provided new insights into the complex. Neutron diffraction shows that the hydrides are best described as edge bridging rather than face bridging. The combination of infrared
