The reaction is enabled by Earth abundant, non-precious NiBr2 as a transition metal catalyst and N,N,N,N-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) as a ligand system. Mechanistic studies reveal that a hydrogen auto-transfer process is involved in the direct C(sp(3))-alkylation and the reaction proceeds through an -olefination process.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article </style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.455</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Landge, Vinod G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Babu, Reshma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yadav, Vinita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Subaramanian, Murugan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gupta, Virendrakumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balaraman, Ekambaram</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iron-catalyzed direct julia-type olefination of alcohols</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Organic Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AUG </style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">85</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9876-9886</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Herein, we report an iron-catalyzed, convenient, and expedient strategy for the synthesis of styrene and naphthalene derivatives with the liberation of dihydrogen. The use of a catalyst derived from an earth-abundant metal provides a sustainable strategy to olefins. This method exhibits wide substrate scope (primary and secondary alcohols) functional group tolerance amino, nitro, halo, alkoxy, thiomethoxy, and S- and N-heterocyclic compounds) that can be scaled up. The unprecedented synthesis of 1-methyl naphthalenes proceeds via tandem methenylation/double dehydrogenation. Mechanistic study shows that the cleavage of the C-H bond of alcohol is the rate-determining step.&lt;/p&gt;

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.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.354</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
