Abstract

The first example of transfer hydrogenation catalyzed by silver complexes in air and water is reported. Various aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes are reduced by using two ligand systems to give the corresponding alcohols in good to excellent yields, while no reaction is observed with ketones.
