Achiral NNN-ligands, R `(2)-oxazolinyl-2-C6H4-NH-C(O)CH2NEt2 [((R ` 2-OxNNNEt2))-H; R' = H (3a), R ` = Me (3b)], and chiral ligands, (R)-R `-oxazolinyl-2-C6H4-NH-C(O)CH2NEt2 [(R)-((R `-OxNNNEt2))-H; R ` = Ph (3c), R ` = CH2Ph (3d), R ` = Pr-i (3e), R ` = (CH2Pr)-Pr-i (3f)], were efficiently synthesized. Treatment of these ligands with (DME)NiCl2 afforded the desired amido-pincer nickel complexes, ((R ` 2-OxNNNEt2))NiCl [R ` = H (4a), R ` = Me (4b)] and ((R `-OxNNNEt2))NiCl [R ` = Ph (4c), R ` = CH2Ph (4d), R ` = Pr-i (4e), R ` = (CH2Pr)-Pr-i (4f)], in good yields. All the ligand precursors and nickel complexes were thoroughly characterized by various analytical techniques. The molecular structures of 4a, 4d and 4f were established by X-ray crystallography. The developed nickel complexes were found to be efficient catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones using (PrOH)-Pr-i as a viable hydrogen source. Enantioselectivity in hydrogenation was not observed with the developed chiral catalysts.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">27</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%">3.591</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%">Bansal, Sadhna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shabade, Anand B.</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%">Advances in C(sp(2))-H/C(sp(2))-H oxidative coupling of (Hetero)arenes using 3d transition metal catalysts</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Advanced Synthesis &amp; Catalysis</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">(hetero)biaryls</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3d transition metal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biaryls</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C-H activation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cross-dehydrogenative coupling</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">363</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1998-2022</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;C-H/C-H oxidative coupling has emerged as a straightforward and powerful technique for the construction of (hetero)biaryls, with substantial application to drug discovery, agrochemicals, biology, and material sciences. Mainly aryl-aryl, aryl-heteroaryl, and heteroaryl-heteroaryl couplings via double C(sp(2))-H activation using 4d or 5d noble transition metal catalysts have been extensively studied. Considering the earth-abundant and inexpensive nature of 3d transition metals, the sustainable development of C(sp(2))-H/C(sp(2))-H oxidative coupling employing such metal catalysts has gained significant attention. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of C(sp(2))-H/C(sp(2))-H oxidative coupling of (hetero)arenes catalyzed by 3d transition metals.&lt;/p&gt;

Particularly, the direct and regioselective C-H bond oxygenation of privileged amides, using a transition metal catalyst and a mild oxygenating source, is a step-economy and attractive approach. During the last decade, considerable progress has been realized in the direct C-H oxygenation of primary, secondary, and tertiary amides. This Short Review compiles the advances in transition-metal-catalyzed oxygenation of C(sp(2))-H and C(sp(3))-H bonds on various amides with diverse oxygenation sources. The review is categorized into two different major sections: (i) C(sp(2))-H oxygenation and (ii) C(sp(3))-H oxygenation. Each section is discussed based on the directing group (monodentate and bidentate) attached to the amide derivatives.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article; Early Access</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%">3.157</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%">Pradhan, Chandini</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%">Advances in the iron-catalyzed direct functionalizations of heterocycles</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Synlett</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alkylation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">azoles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C-H functionalization</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">heterocycles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">indoles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">iron</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mechanism</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2023</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">34</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">683-697</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;
	Direct functionalization of heterocycles is an advanced strategy for diversifying privileged and biorelevant heterocycle-containing molecules. Particularly, use of the most abundant transition metal, iron, as a catalyst makes this process highly cost-effective and sustainable. Recently, some progress has been realized towards the direct functionalization of heterocycles under iron catalysis. Herein, we present the developments in the C-H bond functionalizations and related reactions of various heterocycles by abundant iron salts. This Synpacts is categorized into different sections based on heterocycles being functionalized, and each section is discussed based on the type of reaction catalyzed by iron. 1 Introduction 2 Functionalization of Indoles 2.1 Alkylation 2.2 Alkenylation 2.3 Other Reactions 3 Oxindoles and isatins 3.1 C-C Bond Formation 3.2 C-Heteroatom Bond Formation 4 Pyridines and Furans 5 Functionalization of Azoles 6 Summary and Outlook&lt;/p&gt;

	Alkylation reaction stands as a crucial organic transformation, fostering privileged alkylated arenes and heteroarenes in molecular science. Over the past decade, the utilization of the most abundant transition metal iron for regioselective C-H bond alkylation has gained substantial prominence, offering a straightforward and sustainable approach. Noteworthy progress has been achieved in the alkylation of diverse arenes and heteroarenes involving primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl (pseudo)halide, alkene, and alcohol coupling partners via both the mono- and bidentate-chelate strategies. This concise and focused review provides an overview of the advancement in the iron-catalyzed alkylation of arenes and heteroarenes through step-economical C-H functionalization, their novel features, proposed mechanisms, and future research directions. The review is categorized into two major sections: (i) alkylation of arenes and (ii) alkylation of heteroarenes. Each section is discussed based on the class of arenes and heteroarenes used. Advancement in the direct C-H bond alkylation of arenes and heteroarenes using the catalysts based on the most abundant transition metal, iron, is summarized.&lt;/p&gt;
