The dichlorido complex [(H2N2O2)TiCl2] revealed to be an efficient catalyst for the reduction of benzaldehyde in toluene. Full conversion was observed after 24 h at 55 \u00b0C in THF. The same catalyst also converted phenylacetaldehyde and hydrocinnamaldehyde into the corresponding alkanes quantitatively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27206821","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,12]],"date-time":"2022-10-12T05:31:18Z","timestamp":1665552678000},"page":"6821","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Synthesis and Application of New Salan Titanium Complexes in the Catalytic Reduction of Aldehydes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Joana","family":"Hip\u00f3lito","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Qu\u00edmica Estrutural, Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Av.
