The direct conversion of alcohols into long-chain alkanes is an attractive but extremely challenging approach for biomass upgrading. Here, we describe the highly selective deoxygenative coupling of aryl ethanols with primary alcohols to produce alkanes, using a bis-N-heterocyclic carbene iridium (bis-NHC-Ir) complex as the catalyst. Up to quantitative yields and selectivity with a broad substrate scope are attained in both homo- and cross-coupling reactions. Mechanistic studies reveal that the further synergistic hydrogenation of the alkene intermediates by the formate generated in situ in the presence of bis-NHC-Ir is crucial for alkane production.

A metal-free catalytic allylation with atom economy and green environment friendly was developed. Allylic alcohols could be directly dehydrated in water by B(C6F5)3, without using any base additives. The reaction can afford the corresponding monoallylated product in moderate to high yield and has been performed on a gram-scale, and a quaternary carbon center can be constructed for the active methine compounds of 1,3-diketones or β-ketone esters in this process. The product can be further converted, such as the synthesis of tetra-substituted pyrazole compounds, or 1,4-dienes and functionalized dihydropyrans.

Reported here is the redox neutral electrochemical C(sp2)?C(sp3) cross-coupling reaction of bench-stable aryl halides or β-bromostyrene (electrophiles) and benzylic trifluoroborates (nucleophiles) using nonprecious, bench-stable NiCl2?glyme/polypyridine catalysts in an undivided cell configuration under ambient conditions. The broad reaction scope and good yields of the Ni-catalyzed electrochemical coupling reactions were confirmed by 50 examples of aryl/β-styrenyl chloride/bromide and benzylic trifluoroborates. Potential applications were demonstrated by electrosynthesis and late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals and natural amino acid modification, and three reactions were run on gram-scale in a flow-cell electrolyzer. The electrochemical C?C cross-coupling reactions proceed through an unconventional radical transmetalation mechanism. This method is highly productive and expected to find wide-spread applications in organic synthesis.
