First-Row Transition Metal (De)Hydrogenation Catalysis Based On Functional Pincer Ligands.

TL;DR: This review aims at providing a comprehensive picture of the utilization of functional pincer ligands in first-row transition metal hydrogenation and dehydrogenation catalysis and related synthetic concepts relying on these such as the hydrogen borrowing methodology.

3d-Metal Catalyzed N- and C-Alkylation Reactions via Borrowing Hydrogen or Hydrogen Autotransfer

TL;DR: The findings in this field are expected to inspire others to develop new efficient and selective earth-abundant metal catalysts for borrowing hydrogen or hydrogen autotransfer applications or to develop novel alcohol refunctionalization reactions that can be mediated by such metals.

Homogeneous Transition Metal Catalysis of Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Alcohol Oxidation: Applications in Hydrogen Storage and to Heterocycle Synthesis

TL;DR: Alcohol-amine combinations are discussed to the extent that net oxidation occurs by loss of H2, and AAD also has green chemistry credentials in that an oxidation occurs without the need for an oxidizing agent and hence without the waste formation that would result from its use.

Key Green Chemistry research areas from a pharmaceutical manufacturers’ perspective revisited

TL;DR: In 2007, the members of the ACS Green Chemistry Institute® Pharmaceutical Roundtable assembled a list of key green chemistry research areas to both identify transformations that would benefit from improvements in process greenness and to encourage academic research to this end as mentioned in this paper.

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.

Borrowing hydrogen in the activation of alcohols

TL;DR: In this paper, the metal catalyst returned the hydrogen to the transformed carbonyl compound, leading to an overall process in which alcohols can be converted into amines, compounds containing CC bonds and β-functionalised alcohols.
