The development of new catalytic processes based on abundantly available starting materials by cheap metals is always a fascinating task and marks an important transition in the chemical industry. Herein, a nickel-catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with nitriles followed by decyanation of nitriles to access diversely substituted olefins is reported. This unprecedented C=C bond-forming methodology takes place in a tandem manner with the formation of formamide as a sole byproduct. The significant advantages of this strategy are the low-cost nickel catalyst, good functional group compatibility (ether, thioether, halo, cyano, ester, amino, N/O/S heterocycles; 43 examples), synthetic convenience, and high reaction selectivity and efficiency.

Semi-hydrogenation of alkynes is one of the most widely used methods for obtaining alkenes in laboratory preparation and in industry. Transition metal catalysts have been extensively studied for this transformation, but the tolerance of functional groups, such as pyridine,-OH,-NH2,-Bpin, and halides, and the toxicity of the trace amount of transition metal catalysts are still highly challenging. In this study, we report a general and robust strategy to achieve the semi-hydrogenation of alkynes using inexpensive and commercially available xanthate as the mediator. Mechanism studies support a non-radical process and H2O acts as the hydrogen donor.
Pd/mannose promoted tandem cross coupling-nitro reduction: Expedient synthesis of aminobiphenyls and aminostilbenes

The dual role of d-mannose as a ligand for Pd catalyzed cross-coupling, and as a hydrogen source for nitro reduction is demonstrated in a modular cross coupling-nitro reduction sequence. The synthetic utility and generality of this green protocol has been illustrated by the synthesis of 20 aminobiphenyl and 10 aminostilbene derivatives in high yields through a one-pot Suzuki coupling-nitro reduction and a Heck coupling-nitro reduction, respectively, starting from halonitroarenes as substrates.
