The simple and efficient conversion of carbonyl compounds into functionalized alkanes via
deoxygenation is highly enabling in chemical synthesis. This Review covers the recent …

Plastic waste has widely spread to almost every corner of the blue planet, imposing serious
problems to the living organisms and the environment. Traditional plastics are derived from …

Organonitrogen chemicals, such as amines, nitriles, amides, amino acids, and N-
heterocycles, are ubiquitous building blocks in chemical industry. Conventional …

Deoxygenative hydrogenation of amides to amines homogeneously catalyzed by a complex
of an Earth-abundant metal is presented. This manganese-catalyzed reaction features high …

Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol (MeOH) is an effective strategy for CO2
utilization. Because of a low equilibrium conversion of CO2 to MeOH at high temperature …

N‐Alkylamines are key intermediates in the synthesis of fine chemicals, dyes, and natural
products, and hence are highly valuable building blocks in organic chemistry. Consequently …

Efficient conversion of CO2 into useful chemicals, exemplified by the development of
methods for low-temperature hydrogenation of CO2 to form methanol (CH3OH), is a highly …

Although rhenium may not be the most common choice of active species in catalysis, it has
been reported as a highly active and selective catalyst over a wide range of reactions. Its …

The high reactivity of the formyl group of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is problematic,
because it leads to undesired oligomerization reactions. This is usually countered by …
