The conservation of our element resources is a fundamental challenge of mankind. The
development of alcohol refunctionalization reactions is a possible fossil carbon conservation …

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

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 …

Amines are key intermediates in the chemical industry due to their nucleophilic characteristic
which confers a high reactivity to them. Thus, they are key monomers for the synthesis of …

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 …

In this Minireview, the synthesis of amines by the amination of alcohols, by means of the so‐
called borrowing hydrogen methodology, is presented. Compared to other synthetic …

The production of amines from biomass is a growing field of interest. Particularly the
amination of bio-based alcohols receives a lot of attention. In this review, we discuss recent …

Owing to a growing awareness towards environmental impact, the search for “greener”,
safer, and cost-effective solvents able to replace petroleum-derived solvents has never been …

Alcohols are relatively common starting materials for chemical reactions, even though they
are quite unreactive. For example, reactions that would substitute another functional group …

This work demonstrates the molecular engineering of active sites on a graphene scaffold. It
was found that the N-doped graphene nanosheets prepared by a high-temperature …
