Abstract
Benzaldehyde was successfully reduced by catalytic transfer hydrogenation in glycerol using several ruthenium based complexes and bases. Glycerol was employed as a green solvent and hydrogen source, and it allowed for easy product separation and catalyst recycling and enabled the use of a microwave-assisted reaction.
