All the new compounds were fully characterized by NMR (H-1, C-13, and B-11), FT-IR, UV-vis, LC-MS spectroscopy, and melting point analysis and microanalysis. The dioxaborinane [B-1(L1-5)] and [B-2(L1-5)] compounds were investigated as catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of various ketones under suitable conditions. Particularly, it was proved that the ferrocene-based dioxaborinane [B-1(L1-5)] molecules can afford an efficient catalytic conversion compared to corresponding 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl-based [B-2(L1-5)] dioxaborinanes in transfer hydrogenation catalytic studies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCatechol-Type LigandsDioxaborinanesSpectroscopyTransfer HydrogenationKetonesArticle1114246WOS:0004332668000092-s2.0-8504493423910.1016/j.catcom.2018.03.023Q2Q2
