Methanol as a clean and efficient H-transfer reactant for carbonyl reduction: Scope, limitations, and reaction mechanism

[Display omitted] •The MPV reduction of aromatic aldehydes with methanol was catalyzed by MgO.•The mechanism of the reaction was elucidated by means of DFT calculations.•The mechanism was fully consistent with results of catalytic experiments.•The reaction was of general validity for the reduction o...
