Borrowing hydrogen is a process that used to diversify the synthetic utility of commodity alcohols. A catalyst first oxidizes an alcohol by removing form reactive carbonyl compound. This intermediate can undergo diverse range subsequent transformations before returns "borrowed" liberate product and regenerate catalyst. In this way, alcohols may be as alkylating agents whereby sole byproduct one-pot reaction water. recent decades, significant advances have been made in area, demonstrating many effective methods access valuable products. outlook highlights diversity metal biocatalysts are available for approach, well various performed, focusing on selection most advances. By succinctly describing conveying versatility borrowing chemistry, we anticipate its uptake will increase across wider scientific audience, expanding opportunities further development.

Alcohols are abundant and attractive feedstock molecules for organic synthesis. Many methods their functionalization require them to first be converted into a more activated derivative, while recent years have seen vast increase in the number of complexity-building transformations that directly harness unprotected alcohols. This Review discusses how transition metal catalysis can used toward this goal. These broadly classified three categories. Deoxygenative functionalizations, representing derivatization C–O bond, enable alcohol act as leaving group formation new C–C bonds. Etherifications, characterized by O–H represent classical reactivity has been modernized include mild reaction conditions, diverse partners, high selectivities. Lastly, chain reactions described, wherein acts mediator formal C–H alkyl backbone. Each these classes transformation will discussed context intermolecular arylation, alkylation, related reactions, illustrating alcohols harnessed

Abstract Development in the area of acceptorless dehydrogenation (AD) and borrowing hydrogen (BH) catalysis emerge as one potential tools for various C−C C‐heteroatom bond forming reactions. Alcohols, which are important lignocellulosic biomass products, act pivotal electrophilic coupling partners such processes interestingly only H 2 or O is eliminated a byproduct. Initially, was developed by use noble metal catalysts. Recently, base metals Mn, Fe, Co, Ni proved to be environmentally benign inexpensive alternatives application AD BH methods. This transition catalyzed approaches also allow access toward plethora structurally heterocyclic molecules via atom economical strategy. Herein, we summarize current rising expansion heterocycles synthesis through hydrogenation

Catalysis offers a straightforward route to prepare various value-added molecules starting from readily available raw materials. The catalytic reactions mostly involve multi-electron transformations. Hence, compared the inexpensive and 3d-metals, 4d 5d-transition metals get an extra advantage for performing as heavier transition prefer two-electron redox events. However, sustainable development, these expensive scarce heavy metal-based catalysts need be replaced by inexpensive, environmentally benign, economically affordable 3d-metal catalysts. In this regard, metal-ligand cooperative approach involving metal complexes of noninnocent ligands attractive alternative. synergistic participation redox-active during electron transfer events allows transformations using interesting chemical 5d-metals well. Herein we summarize up-to-date literature report on approaches few selected types reactions.
