Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Synthesis of Amides from Alcohols and Amines with Liberation of H2
TL;DR: A reaction in which primary amines are directly acylated by equimolar amounts of alcohols to produce amides and molecular hydrogen in high yields and high turnover numbers is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applications of acceptorless dehydrogenation and related transformations in chemical synthesis.
TL;DR: Acceptorless dehydrogenation and related dehydrogenative coupling reactions have the potential for redirecting synthetic strategies to the use of sustainable resources, devoid of toxic reagents and deleterious side reactions, with no waste generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal-ligand cooperation by aromatization-dearomatization: a new paradigm in bond activation and "green" catalysis.
TL;DR: A range of novel catalytic reactions that were developed guided by these new modes of metal-ligand cooperation are described, including a unique water splitting process, which involves consecutive thermal liberation of H(2) and light-induced liberation of O(2), using no sacrificial reagents, promoted by a pyridine-based pincer ruthenium complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bond Activation and Catalysis by Ruthenium Pincer Complexes
TL;DR: The heterolytic activation of dihydrogen by NH/H2 MLC was reported by Fryzuk and co-workers in 1987 with pincer Ir and Rh complexes, and complex 73 was found to be an active dehydrogenation catalyst for ammoniaborane and hydrogenation reactions as discussed below.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient hydrogenation of organic carbonates, carbamates and formates indicates alternative routes to methanol based on CO2 and CO
TL;DR: Producing methanol — useful as both a fuel and a synthetic building block — from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide has been achieved using homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of carbonates, carbamates and formates.
