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 …

Since its advent two decades ago, asymmetric organo/transition-metal combined catalysis
(AOMC), including cooperative catalysis and relay catalysis, has leveraged redistribution of …

The conservation of our element resources is a fundamental challenge of mankind. The
development of alcohol refunctionalization reactions is a possible fossil carbon conservation …

The borrowing hydrogen (BH) principle, also called hydrogen auto-transfer, is a powerful
approach which combines transfer hydrogenation (avoiding the direct use of molecular …

Multicatalysis is an emerging field targeting the development of efficient catalytic
transformations to quickly convert relatively simple starting materials into more complex …

The review highlights the recent advances (2013-present) in the use of earth-abundant first
row transition metals in homogeneous borrowing hydrogen catalysis. The utility of catalysts …

The present review “Iron Catalysis in Organic Synthesis” covers the literature until the end of
June 2014 and represents a comprehensive update of a previous article published by Bolm …

Borrowing hydrogen (or hydrogen autotransfer) reactions represent straightforward and
sustainable C–N bond-forming processes. In general, precious metal-based catalysts are …

Conspectus The substitution of expensive and potentially toxic noble-metal catalysts by
cheap, abundant, environmentally benign, and less toxic metals is highly desirable and in …
