The synergism between Ag and Ni in transfer hydrogenation eliminates the need for external hydrogen, making the process safer. The magnetic nature of the catalyst offers easy recovery for efficient recycling. This approach is standardized for the hydrogenation of several C-3-C-6 platform molecules in an aqueous medium.</p>1 aHengne, Amol, M.1 aMalawadkar, Atul, V.1 aBiradar, Narayan, S.1 aRode, Chandrashekhar, V.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/surface-synergism-ag-nizro2-nanocomposite-catalytic-transfer-hydrogenation-bio-derived-0
