The value of catalytic dehydrogenation of aliphatics (CDA) in organic synthesis has
remained largely underexplored. Known homogeneous CDA systems often require the use …

In the last twenty years, nickel has successfully imprinted its role in the field of homogeneous
catalysis as a valid and complementary alternative to palladium and platinum catalysts …

A novel, one-step N-dehydrogenation of amides to enamides is reported. This reaction
employs the unlikely combination of LiHMDS and triflic anhydride, which serves as both the …

Given their ubiquity in natural products and pharmaceuticals, alcohols represent one of the
most attractive starting materials for the construction of C–C bonds. We report herein the first …

The transformations that allow the direct removal of hydrogen from their corresponding
saturated counterparts by the dehydrogenative strategy are a dream reaction that has …

Dehydrogenation chemistry has long been established as a fundamental aspect of organic
synthesis, commonly encountered in carbonyl compounds. Transition metal catalysis …

In recent years, several methods for the direct desaturation of aliphatic compounds have
been developed, facilitated by the unique combination of photoredox and transition‐metal …

Herein, we report a photoexcited base-metal-catalyzed selective desaturation of aliphatic
amides and imides. The reaction is catalyzed by a base-metal cobalt complex under visible …

Preparing valuable olefins from cheap and abundant alkane resources has long been a
challenging task in organic synthesis, which mainly suffers from harsh reaction conditions …

C (sp3)–H bond desaturation has been an attractive strategy in organic synthesis. Enamides
are important structural fragments in pharmaceuticals and versatile synthons in organic …
