Ketone reductions with/without TPGS-750-M. For the four examples shown, conversions were monitored until plateauing (curves). A comparison at t = 1 h is also shown (bars). Reactions in buffer only are displayed in blue. Reactions in 2 wt % TPGS-750-M/buffer are displayed in purple. Reactions in 4 wt % TPGS-750-M/buffer are displayed in pink. Reactions in 6 wt % TPGS-750-M/buffer are displayed in yellow. Plot a describes the reduction of 4-iodoacetophenone, plot b shows the reduction of 4′-(trifluoromethyl)acetophenone, plot c illustrates the reduction of 2-ethylhexyl (E)-3-(4-acetylphenyl)acrylate, while plot d shows the reduction of 4-phenyl-3-en-2-one. Conversions were monitored by HPLC (case a) or 1H NMR (cases b, c and d). Source data are provided as Source Data File
