Direct Amide Synthesis from Alcohols and Amines by Phosphine‐Free Ruthenium Catalyst Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, an in situ generated catalyst from [Ru(benzene)Cl 2 ] 2, an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, and acetonitrile showed excellent activity toward reactions with cyclic secondary amines such as piperidine and morpholine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Amide Synthesis from Either Alcohols or Aldehydes with Amines: Activity of Ru(II) Hydride and Ru(0) Complexes

TL;DR: An in situ generated catalyst from readily available RuH(2)(PPh(3))(4), an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursor, NaH, and acetonitrile was developed and showed high activity for the amide synthesis directly from either alcohols or aldehydes with amines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acceptorless and Base‐Free Dehydrogenation of Alcohols and Amines using Ruthenium‐Hydride Complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient, operatively simple, acceptorless, and base-free dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds was achieved by using readily available ruthenium hydride complexes as precatalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Counterion Dependence on the Synthetic Viability of NHC-stabilized Dichloroborenium Cations
TL;DR: The synthetic viability of several N-heterocyclic carbene stabilized dichloroborenium cations in the presence of Cl–, AlCl4–, OTf– (Tf = O2SCF3), NTf2–, and [BArCl4]− was investigated and all targeted cations were synthetically viable.
