Abstract
Although commonly applied in various reactions, Shvo's catalyst has not been modified towards solubility in highly polar solvents until now. Here, we report the straightforward synthesis of a disulfonate derivative of the complex, which allows to (transfer) (de-)hydrogenate aldehydes and ketones in aqueous solutions. A proof of principle for the recycling of the catalyst is also provided.
