The alkylation of ketones or secondary alcohols using alcohols as alkylating agents via
hydrogen borrowing strategy presents a powerful method for the synthesis of ɑ‐alkylated …

Alcohols are abundant and attractive feedstock molecules for organic synthesis. Many
methods for their functionalization require them to first be converted into a more activated …

The unusual nonbifunctional outer-sphere strategy was successfully utilized in developing
an easily accessible N-heterocyclic carbene manganese (NHC-Mn) system for highly active …

A series of novel ruthenium (II) complexes supported by a symmetrical NNN ligand were
prepared and fully characterized. These complexes exhibited good performance in transfer …

A green and scalable strategy has been developed for the synthesis of lignin-derived Zn
single atom/N-codoped porous carbon (LCN@ Zn-SAC) containing similar ZnN x sites with …

A sustainable and green route to access diverse functionalized ketones via dehydrogenative–
dehydrative cross‐coupling of primary and secondary alcohols is demonstrated. This …

Catalytic cross-coupling of ketones and secondary alcohols with primary alcohols is
reported. An abundant manganese-based pincer catalyst catalyzes the reactions. Low …

Methylation of amines and ketones with palladacycle precatalyst has been performed using
methanol as an environmentally benign reagent. Various ketones and amines undergo …

A highly effective and green procedure for the formation of α-alkylated ketones has been
disclosed via the reaction of primary alcohols with secondary alcohols and ketones by using …

Three bidentate ruthenium (II) complexes with a pyridonate fragment were prepared and
fully characterized. These complexes are structurally similar, but differ in their pendant …
