Reactions were performed on a 0.1 mmol scale for 20 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. The yields were determined by GC-FID. A Evaluation of supporting ligands for cerium. B Preparation of Ce(TRIPCO2)3(DMSO)3 catalyst. C Control experiments using Ce(TRIPCO2)3(DMSO)3 catalyst. aIsolated yield. D Evaluation of other alcohol reductants.
