The functionalization of C–H bonds has created new approaches to preparing organic
molecules by enabling new strategic “disconnections” during the planning of a synthetic …

The alkyl group is the most common component of organic molecules and the most difficult
to selectively functionalize. The development of catalysts for dehydrogenation of alkyl …

Among commercial plastics, polyolefins are the most widely produced worldwide but have
limited recyclability. Here, we report a chemical recycling route for the conversion of post …

Direct non-oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes produces useful carbon feedstocks and
hydrogen fuel. However, breaking the C–H bonds in alkanes typically requires high …

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

Dehydrogenation reactions are the challenging and thermodynamically unfavorable.
Traditionally, high temperature and pressure conditions, excess of oxidants and sacrificial …

Alumina-supported Pt is one of the major industrial catalysts for light alkane
dehydrogenation. This catalyst loses activity during reaction, with coke formation often …

We report herein a well-defined and bench-stable azo-phenolate ligand-coordinated nickel
catalyst which can efficiently execute N-alkylation of a variety of anilines by alcohol. We …

The dehydrogenation of unactivated alkanes is an important transformation both in industrial
and biological systems. Recent efforts towards this reaction have revolved around high …

Hybrid catalyst systems to achieve acceptorless dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles and
tetrahydronaphthalenes model substrates for liquid organic hydrogen carriers were …
