The catalytic activities of these complexes were examined in the transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones using 2-propanol as hydrogen source. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess2-propanolAromatic ketonesCarbenesHydrogen sourcesN-heterocyclic carbene complexTransfer hydrogenationsCatalyst activityHydrogenHydrogenationKetonesOrganic compoundsRutheniumTolueneRuthenium compoundsSynthesis of ruthenium(II) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes and their catalytic activities in transfer hydrogenation of ketonesArticle37329730210.1007/s11243-012-95890-02-s2.0-84861821949Q2
