N-Tosylhydrazine-mediated deoxygenative hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by Pd/C

A mild and efficient method for the deoxygenative hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones has been developed. The reaction is mediated by N-tosylhydrazine with H2 (1 atm) as the reductant and 10% Pd/C as the catalyst.
