The borrowing hydrogen (BH) principle, also called hydrogen auto-transfer, is a powerful
approach which combines transfer hydrogenation (avoiding the direct use of molecular …

It is well-recognized that N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have provided a new
dimension to the design of homogeneous catalysts. Part of the success of this type of ligands …

Borrowing hydrogen or the hydrogen autotransfer amination is a powerful approach to
create single C–N bonds, starting from stable and readily available substrates: amines and …

Metal–ligand cooperation (MLC) has become an important concept in catalysis by transition
metal complexes both in synthetic and biological systems. MLC implies that both the metal …

Transition metal-catalyzed substitution of alcohols by N-nucleophiles (or N-alkylation of
amines and related compounds with alcohols) avoids the use of alkylating agents by means …

This study represents the first example an environmentally benign, sustainable, and
practical synthesis of substituted quinolines and pyrimidines using combinations of 2 …

Herein, we describe an efficient coupling of alcohols and amines catalyzed by well‐defined
isoelectronic hydride MnI and FeII complexes, which are stabilized by a PNP ligand based …

The first example of room temperature non-noble metal homogeneous system catalyzed
selective N-alkylation of anilines with alcohols by a bis-NHC manganese complex is …

Ligand design has met with considerable success with both categories of hybrid ligands,
which are characterized by chemically different donor groups, and of N-heterocyclic …

Over the past few years, iridium complexes have been widely used in the direct
functionalization of unactivated bonds. In the presence of iridium catalysts, inactive C–H and …
