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 …

The synthesis of heterocycles is an emerging area of chemical research considering their
high importance in pharmaceuticals, material chemistry, and natural product synthesis. The …

Methylation is a well‐known structural modification in organic and medicinal chemistry. This
review summarizes recent advances in methylation by categorizing specific methylation …

Methanol is a fundamental feedstock and is widely used in the chemical and petroleum
industries. It can serve as a C1 source to make a variety of C–C and C–N bond formation …

Tandem transformation of α, β-unsaturated ketones to α-methylated ketones by utilizing
methanol as both the hydrogen and C1 sources is reported in the presence of a phosphine …

Heterogeneous catalysis for the one-pot synthesis of added-value chemicals is a growing
area in green chemistry. Among various types of organic transformations that are accessible …

We report an earth‐abundant‐metal‐catalyzed double and single methylation of alcohols. A
manganese catalyst, which operates at low catalyst loadings and short reaction times …

Highly selective β‐methylation of alcohols was achieved using an earth‐abundant first row
transition metal in the air stable molecular manganese complex [Mn (CO) 2Br [HN …

The present review focuses on recent progress achieved from 2017 to March 2021 using
methanol as a C1-alkylating agent. A series of novel metal-catalyzed hydrogen-borrowing …

Methanol can be employed as a green and sustainable methylating agent to form C–C and
C–N bonds via borrowing hydrogen (BH) methodology. Herein we explored the activity of …
