Journal ArticleDOI
Facile Conversion of Alcohols into Esters and Dihydrogen Catalyzed by New Ruthenium Complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient, environmentally benign method for the preparation of esters from alcohols under mild, neutral conditions without the need for carboxylic acid derivatives and condensing agents was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient Homogeneous Catalytic Hydrogenation of Esters to Alcohols
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-Pressure Hydrogenation of Carbon Dioxide Catalyzed by an Iron Pincer Complex Exhibiting Noble Metal Activity
Robert Langer,Yael Diskin-Posner,Gregory Leitus,Linda J. W. Shimon,Yehoshoa Ben-David,David Milstein +5 more
TL;DR: A mechanism is proposed involving the direct attack of an iron trans-dihydride on carbon dioxide, followed by ligand exchange and dihydrogen coordination, which achieves activities similar to some of the best noble metal catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manganese-Catalyzed Environmentally Benign Dehydrogenative Coupling of Alcohols and Amines to Form Aldimines and H2: A Catalytic and Mechanistic Study.
Arup Mukherjee,Alexander Nerush,Gregory Leitus,Linda J. W. Shimon,Yehoshoa Ben David,Noel Angel Espinosa Jalapa,David Milstein +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines to form imines and H2 that is catalyzed, for the first time, by a complex of the earth-abundant Mn.
