Hydrogen as reducing agent

In general, many NMPs can be prepared in ILs using H2 as the reducing agent. For example, Rh and Ir NPs can be easily prepared through the reduction of 

Different from traditional ILs, functionalized ionic liquids (FILs) can provide a metal-binding moiety and can be used as a functionalized solvent in NMPs

The initial increase of the reaction rate is possibly due to the rate of catalyst generation, which involves hydrogen as reducing agent. 

Other cobalt catalysts that have been used for enantioselective C—C double bond reduction of a,/ -unsaturated carbonyl compounds are vitamin B12 in combination with zinc/acetic acid (up to 33% ee)S7 and bis(dimcthylglyoximato)cobalt(II) (12) with chiral amines as cocatalysts88 and molecular hydrogen as reducing agent. The best results have been obtained with complex 12 and quinine or (2.S )-A -[(/ )-1 -phenethyl]-2-quinuclidinecarboxaniide (hydrogenation of 1,2-diphenyl-2-propen-l-one 49% ee A, /V -dimethyl-5-benzylidenehydantoin 79% ee). 

Colloidal palladium can be prepared similarly by use of hydrogen as reducing agent.152... 

A number of different reactions have been described for the formation of covalent volatile metal hydrides, which aU have as a common denominator that they rely on the formation of atomic hydrogen as reducing agent [15]. For the generation of volatile hydrides of arsenic, antimony, and selenium (ASH3, SbH3 and H2Se) the well-known reaction of Zn with concentrated hydrochloric acid may be employed ... 

Increasingly, alternatives to hydrogen as reducing agent are being developed. Without exception palladium phosphine complexes are used as... 

Note that reactions (13.26) and (13.27) are not the same, even though each has Cu(s) as a product. The purpose of coupled reactions, then, is to produce a spontaneous overall reaction by combining two other processes one non-spontaneous and one spontaneous. Many metallurgical processes employ coupled reactions, especially those that use carbon or hydrogen as reducing agents.

The Leuckart reaction uses formic acid as reducing agent. Reductive alkylation using formaldehyde, hydrogen, and catalyst, usually nickel, is used commercially to prepare methylated amines. These tertiary amines are used to prepare quaternary ammonium salts. 

Reagents, such as tri alkyl aluminums (90) and sodium benzophenone (109), are quite useful as reducing agents. Alkyl aluminums have been used to synthesize Cr(CO), Mo(CO), and W(CO) in high yields (90). In one case, hydrogen was used effectively as a reducing agent in petroleum ether solvent (110,111). 

A modified procedure" uses activated zinc together with dry gaseous hydrogen chloride in an organic solvent, e.g. acetic acid, as reducing agent. Under those conditions the reaction occurs at lower temperatures as with the original procedure. 

Metallic elements taking part in redox reactions, such as zinc in the reaction above, commonly act as reducing agents they are oxidized to cations such as Zn2+. Other reducing agents include hydrogen gas, which can be oxidized to H+ ions ... 

Although electrothermal atomisation methods can be applied to the determination of arsenic, antimony, and selenium, the alternative approach of hydride generation is often preferred. Compounds of the above three elements may be converted to their volatile hydrides by the use of sodium borohydride as reducing agent. The hydride can then be dissociated into an atomic vapour by the relatively moderate temperatures of an argon-hydrogen flame.

Dangerous materials may require special equipment. Chlorination with gaseous chlorine requires quite expensive storage facilities. Chlorination with chlorine, thionyl chloride, sulphuryl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus trichloride, or phosphorus pentachloride, all of which are fairly hazardous, requires off-gas treatment. Some of these reactants can be recycled. Pyrophoric solids such as hydrogenation catalysts, anhydrous aluminium trichloride for Friedel-Crafts reactions, or hydrides used as reducing agents should usually be handled using special facilities. Therefore, all of the above proce.sses are usually carried out in dedicated plants.
