The [Rh(COD)Cl]2/xantphos/Cs2CO3 system efficiently catalyzes the reductive N-alkylation of aryl nitro compounds with alcohols by a borrowing-hydrogen strategy to afford the corresponding imine products in good to excellent yields. In the absence of xantphos, the [Rh(COD)Cl]2/Cs2CO3 catalytic system behaves as an effective catalyst for the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols to esters, with nitrobenzene as a hydrogen acceptor. The reactivity of the rhodium catalytic system can be easily manipulated to selectively afford the imine or ester.
Acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols catalysed by ruthenium PNP complexes: Influence of catalyst structure and of hydrogen mass transfer

Base-free catalytic acceptorless dehydrogenative homo-coupling of alcohols to esters under neat conditions was investigated using a combined organometallic synthesis and kinetic modelling approach. The considered bifunctional ruthenium aliphatic PNP complexes are very active, affording TONs up to 15,000. Notably, gas mass transfer issues were identified, which allowed us to rationalize previous observations. Indeed, the reaction kinetics are limited by the rate of transfer from the liquid phase to the gas phase of the hydrogen co-produced in the reaction. Mechanistically speaking, this relates to the interconverting couple amido monohydride/amino bishydride. Overcoming this by switching into the chemical regime leads to an initial turnover frequency increase from about 2000 up to 6100?h?1. This has a significant impact when considering assessment of novel or reported catalytic systems in this type of reaction, as overlooking of these engineering aspects can be misleading.
Efficient dimeric esterification of alcohols with NBS in water using l-proline as catalyst
Liu, Xiuhong,Wu, Jun,Shang, Zhicai
experimental part, p. 75 - 83 (2011/11/05)
The L-proline-catalyzed oxidation of aliphatic primary alcohols with N-bromosuccimide (NBS) in water at room temperature to afford the corresponding dimeric esters in good to excellent yields was described. This pathway of dimeric esterification was proved to be very simple and environmentally friendly.
