Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation, A Facile Conversion of Hydroxyflavanones Into Hydroxydihydrochalcones

Abstract
Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of naringenin, hesperetin and eriodictyol using sodium formate as the donor and commercially available pd/C gives the respective hydroxydihydrochalcones in good yields. The method is an excellent alternative to catalytic hydrogenation.
