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 …

Enantioconvergent catalysis has expanded asymmetric synthesis to new methodologies
able to convert racemic compounds into a single enantiomer. This review covers recent …

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 homogeneous manganese‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of two secondary alcohols for the
divergent synthesis of γ‐disubstituted alcohols and β‐disubstituted ketones is reported …

Herein, we report a manganese‐catalyzed three‐component coupling of secondary
alcohols, primary alcohols and methanol for the synthesis of β, β‐methylated/alkylated …

The β-alkylation of secondary alcohols has been successfully accomplished using earth
abundant, inexpensive and environmentally benign 3d transition metal chromium salt CrCl3 …

The direct upgrading reaction of simple and readily available achiral alcohols via C–H
functionalization is an ideal strategy to prepare value-added chiral higher alcohols. Herein …

Bioethanol fermentation industry is the first largest fermentation industry in the world. The
conversion of bioethanol into liquid transportation fuels, namely gasoline-range, jet-range …
