Catalytic iodine facilitates transfer-hydrogenation of cyclohexadiene and deoxygenation of benzylic alcohols, suggesting efficiency in organic synthesis.
The transfer-hydrogenation from cyclohexadiene to aryl-substituted alkenes as well as the deoxygenation of benzylic alcohols in dichloromethane is realised with a catalytic amount of iodine at ambient temperatures.
