This methodology shows excellent regioselectivity and exhibits a broad substrate scope. Various functional groups, such as -OMe, -F, and -Br, are tolerated on the indole backbone to give the difluoroalkylated products in moderate to good yields. Preliminary mechanistic findings demonstrate that the reaction is homogeneous in nature and involves a radical manifold. Synthetic utility of this nickel-catalyzed method is demonstrated by synthesizing melatonin receptor antagonist Luzindole derivative.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17</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%">3.692</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%">Sharma, Dipesh M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Punji, Benudhar</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Selective synthesis of secondary amines from nitriles by a user-friendly cobalt catalyst</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Advanced Synthesis &amp; Catalysis</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</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%">361</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3930-3936</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Selective hydrogenation/reductive amination of nitriles to secondary amines catalyzed by an inexpensive and user-friendly cobalt complex, (Xantphos)CoCl2, is reported.

The general applicability of this methodology is demonstrated by the synthesis of 43 symmetrical and unsymmetrical secondary and tertiary amines bearing diverse functionalities.&lt;br /&gt;

Particularly, the late 3d transition metal catalysts (manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel and copper) have shown promising activity for the hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines, secondary amines and imines. Similarly, semihydrogenation of alkynes to E- and Z-alkenes by 3d metals is adequately successful both via the transfer hydrogenation and by using molecular hydrogen. The emergence of 3d transition metals in the selective synthesis of industrially relevant amines, imines and alkenes makes this protocol more attractive. Herein, we provide a concise overview on the late 3d transition metal-catalyzed hydrogenation of nitriles to amines and imines as well as semihydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Review</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;4.056&lt;/p&gt;</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%">Shabade, Anand B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sharma, Dipesh M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bajpai, Priyam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gonnade, Rajesh G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vanka, Kumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Punji, Benudhar</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Room temperature chemoselective hydrogenation of C=C, C=O and C=N bonds by using a well-defined mixed donor Mn(I) pincer catalyst</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemical Science</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2022</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NOV </style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13764-13773</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(0, 0, 0); font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Chemoselective hydrogenation of C=C, C=O and C=N bonds in alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones, aldehydes and imines is accomplished at room temperature (27 degrees C) using a well-defined Mn(I) catalyst and 5.0 bar H-2. Amongst the three mixed-donor Mn(I) complexes developed, kappa(3)-((PNNPyz)-P-R2-N-3)Mn(CO)(2)Br (R = Ph, Pr-i, Bu-t); the Bu-t -substituted complex ((PNNPyz)-P-tBu2-N-3)Mn(CO)(2)Br shows exceptional chemoselective catalytic reduction of unsaturated bonds. This hydrogenation protocol tolerates a range of highly susceptible functionalities, such as halides (-F, -Cl, -Br, and -I), alkoxy and hydroxy, including hydrogen-sensitive moieties like acetyl, nitrile, nitro, epoxide, and unconjugated alkenyl and alkynyl groups. Additionally, the disclosed method applies to indole, pyrrole, furan, thiophene, and pyridine-containing unsaturated ketones leading to the corresponding saturated ketones. The C=C bond is chemoselectively hydrogenated in alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones, while the aldehyde's C=O bond and imine's C=N bond are preferentially reduced over the C=C bond. A detailed mechanistic study highlighted the non-innocent behavior of the ligand in the ((PNNPyz)-P-tBu2-N-3) Mn(I) complex and indicated a metal-ligand cooperative catalytic pathway. The molecular hydrogen (H-2) acts as a hydride source, whereas MeOH provides a proton for hydrogenation. DFT energy calculations supported the facile progress of most catalytic steps, involving a crucial turnover-limiting H-2 activation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

	Hemilabile and phosphine-free quinolinyl-based NNN-type pincer and non-pincer cobalt complexes were developed for the room temperature catalytic transfer semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to Z-alkenes. Treatment of the quinolinyl-amine ligand, [C9H6N(NH)CH2CH2NEt2] ((NNN2NEt2)-N-Q-N-CH)-H with CoX2 afforded the pincer complexes kappa(3)-((NNN2NEt2)-N-Q-N-CH)CoX2 (X = Cl, Br), whereas, the quinolinyl-amide ligand, [C9H6N(NH)C(O)CH2NEt2] ((NNNNEt2)-N-Q-N-C(O))-H gave chelate anionic complexes kappa(2)-((NN)-N-Q)CoX2((NHNEt2)-H-C(O)) (X = Cl, Br). The well-defined anionic non-pincer cobalt complexes efficiently catalyzed the semi-hydrogenation of diverse alkynes to deliver highly chemoselective and stereodivergent Z-alkenes at room temperature. This hydrogenation exhibited broad substrate scope with the tolerance of sensitive functional groups, such as -Cl, -Br, -I, -OH, -NH2, -COOMe, and pyridinyl, employing a stable and user-friendly ammonia borane hydrogen source.&lt;/p&gt;
