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 …

Hydroamination, the addition of an N–H bond across a C–C multiple bond, is a reaction with
a great synthetic potential. Important advances have been made in the last decades …

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

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 …

Cyclopropanes are among the most important structural units in natural products,
pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Herein, we report a manganese-catalyzed …

An atom‐and step‐economical and redox‐neutral cascade reaction enabled by asymmetric
bimetallic relay catalysis by merging a ruthenium‐catalyzed asymmetric borrowing …

We report a sustainable and eco-friendly approach for selective N-alkylation of various
amines by alcohols, catalyzed by a well-defined Zn (II)-catalyst, Zn (La) Cl2 (1a), bearing a …

A unique family of chiral peraza N6‐macrocyclic ligands, which are conformationally rigid
and have a tunable saddle‐shaped cavity, is described. Utilizing their manganese (I) …

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 …
