Abstract: | Homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation has played an important role in the development of modern organic synthesis. Indeed, the discovery of highly regio- and stereoselective catalysts for C=C and C=O bonds reductions has allowed the efficient synthesis of optically active compounds. As the fragrance industry has turned to synthetic ingredients to fulfill the need for novel, cost-effective, and environment-friendly products, the use of catalytic processes are more and more in demand. In this Account, we thus highlight the application of catalytic hydrogenation in the synthesis of fragrance ingredients. |
