Organometallics: Carbenes and Transfer Hydrogenation

Description

This lecture starts with a review of carbenes, focusing on Fisher and Shrock carbenes, their ligands, and oxidation states. The discussion then shifts to transfer hydrogenation, exploring the use of isopropanol as a hydrogen donor, its advantages over traditional hydrogenation, and the concept of green chemistry, emphasizing the importance of considering the overall impact of chemical processes on sustainability.
