Catalytic dehydrogenation of feedstock chemicals, such as alcohols and amines to value-added products with the concomitant generation of dihydrogen is of much interest in the context of hydrogen economy and is an effective alternative to the classical oxidation reactions. Despite a number of homogeneous catalysts being identified for the acceptorless dehydrogenation, the use of high price and limited availability of precious metals and poor recovery of the catalyst have spurred interest in catalysis with more earth-abundant alternatives, especially iron. However, no report has described a reusable iron-based heterogeneous catalyst for oxidant-free and acceptorless dehydrogenation reactions. Here we replace expensive noble metal catalysts with an inexpensive, benign, and sustainable nanoscale iron catalyst for the efficient acceptorless dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles and alcohols with liberation of hydrogen gas.</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12.124</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%">Rana, Jagannath</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Subaramanian, Murugan</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%">Nickel-catalyzed N-vinylation of heteroaromatic amines via C-H bond activation</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organic &amp; Biomolecular Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alkylation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amination Reactions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anilines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aryl  Chlorides</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">halides</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monoarylation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">O Bonds</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Precatalyst</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pyrimidines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Removeble Directing Group</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SEP</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> 6896-6900</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248);&quot;&gt;Here, we report a ligand- and reductant-free nickel-catalyzed N-vinylation of heteroaromatic amines using biorenewable p-cymene as a solvent.

Metal-based therapeutics for inhibition of Tau aggregation is limited and rarely reported in contemporary science. Here, we report the first example of rationally designed molecular cobalt(II)-complexes for effective inhibition of Tau and disaggregation of preformed Tau fibrils. The mechanistic studies reveal that prevention of Tau aggregation by cobalt-based metal complexes (CBMCs) is concentration-dependent and Tau seldom exhibits conformational changes. Interestingly, CBMCs play dual role in causing disassembly of preformed aggregates as well as inhibition of complete Tau aggregation. Furthermore, CBMCs were nontoxic and maintained the tubulin network intact. CBMCs also prevented okadaic acid-induced toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells thus, preventing hyperphosphorylation of Tau. We believe that this unprecedented finding by the newly developed molecular complexes has a potential toward metal-based therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease.&lt;/p&gt;

A broad range of substrates including cyclic, acyclic, and benzylic alcohols, as well as various nitrile derivatives, such as arylmethyl and heteroarylmethyl nitriles, are employed in the reaction to provide a diverse range of alpha-vinyl nitriles in good to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies showed that the reaction proceeds via dehydrogenative pathway and the activation of alpha(C-H) bond of the alcohol is the rate-determining step.&lt;/p&gt;
