# Pd-C-induced catalytic transfer hydrogenation with triethylsilane.
> トリエチルシランとPd-Cを用いた接触移動水素化反応による多様な官能基の還元


## Abstract

This study demonstrates that in situ molecular hydrogen generation is achievable by combining triethylsilane with a palladium-charcoal catalyst. Under mild and neutral reaction conditions, the generated hydrogen facilitates rapid and efficient reduction of multiple bonds, azide groups, imines, and nitro groups. Additionally, deprotection of benzyl and allyl protecting groups proceeds effectively under the same conditions. The approach offers a practical method for catalytic transfer hydrogenation in synthetic organic chemistry without requiring external hydrogen gas supply.

### Mechanism

Triethylsilane reacts with palladium-charcoal catalyst to generate molecular hydrogen in situ, which then drives reduction of multiple bonds, azides, imines, and nitro groups, as well as deprotection of benzyl and allyl groups under neutral conditions.

## Delivery context

This is basic research at the cellular or molecular level. For human application, inhalation is the most promising delivery route, but inhalation carries explosion risk and concentration matters (empirical LFL of 10%; high-concentration devices are not recommended).
