stable and potent hydride source in Pd-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of functionalized alkenes, imines, nitroarenes and 1,2-diketones [23][24]. Danks et al. also carried out reduction of alkylcinnamates using polymer supported formate and catalytic RhCl(PPh3)3 (2.5 mol%) under microwave irradiation
