Borrowing hydrogen is a process that is used to diversify the synthetic utility of commodity
alcohols. A catalyst first oxidizes an alcohol by removing hydrogen to form a reactive …

Direct substitution of readily available alcohols is recognized as a key research area in
green chemical synthesis. Starting from simple racemic secondary alcohols, the …

Borrowing hydrogen or the hydrogen autotransfer amination is a powerful approach to
create single C–N bonds, starting from stable and readily available substrates: amines and …

An unprecedented hydroalkylation of racemic allylic alcohols and racemic ketimine esters
enabled by Cu/Ru relay catalysis has been developed via merging the ruthenium‐catalyzed …

We present an enantioconvergent access to chiral N-heterocycles directly from simple
racemic diols and primary amines, through a highly economical borrowing hydrogen …

A variety of chiral indole-containing functional molecules are of great importance in
chemistry and medicine. These compounds have traditionally been prepared by …

We report herein an unprecedented highly efficient Guerbet‐type reaction at room
temperature (catalytic TON up to> 6000). This β‐alkylation of secondary methyl carbinols …

A borrowing‐hydrogen reaction between amines and alcohols is an atom‐economic way to
prepare alkylamines, ideally with water as the sole byproduct. Herein, nickel catalysts are …

Hydrogen‐borrowing catalysis represents a powerful method for the alkylation of amine or
enolate nucleophiles with non‐activated alcohols. This approach relies upon a catalyst that …

We report herein the highly enantioselective synthesis of 2‐substituted tetrahydroquinolines
through borrowing hydrogen, a process recognized for its environmentally benign and atom …
