Acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling reactions (ADC) and hydrogen transfer strategies
(HT) provide a powerful tool in the multicomponent formation of N‐heterocycles. A broad …

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 …

A new Mn‐catalyzed alkylation of secondary alcohols with non‐activated alcohols is
presented. The use of a stable and well‐defined manganese pincer complex, stabilized by a …

A series of well‐defined iron (II) complexes of the types [Fe (PNP) Br2] and [Fe (PNP)(CO)
Br2] with PNP pincer ligands based on triazine and pyridine backbones were prepared and …

A practical method for the synthesis of α‐chiral amines by alkylation of amines with alcohols
in the absence of any transition‐metal catalysts has been developed. Under the co‐catalysis …

A new base metal catalyzed sustainable multicomponent synthesis of pyrroles from readily
available substrates is reported. The developed protocol utilizes an air‐and moisture‐stable …

Hydrogen borrowing catalysis serves as a powerful alternative to enolate alkylation,
enabling the direct coupling of ketones with unactivated alcohols. However, to date …

The chemoselective alkylation and olefination of alkylnitriles with alcohols have been
developed by simply controlling the reaction atmosphere. A binuclear rhodium complex …

A transition‐metal‐catalyzed borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen auto‐transfer strategy allows
the utilization of feedstock alcohols as an alkylating partner, which avoids the formation of …

An efficient ruthenium catalyst is reported, for the first time, to catalyse the α‐methylation of
ketones and esters using methanol as a green methylating agent. The in situ generated …
