The expected products of C−O cleavage are not formed (except as traces in the case of anilides). The reaction proceeds under mild pressure and neutral, homogeneous conditions using a dearomatized, bipyridyl-based PNN Ru(II) pincer complex as a catalyst. The postulated mechanism involves metal−ligand cooperation by aromatization−dearomatization of the heteroaromatic pincer core and does not involve hydrolytic cleavage of the amide. The simplicity, generality, and efficiency of this environmentally benign process make it attractive for the direct transformations of amides to alcohols and amines in good to excellent yields.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">47</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9.019</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%">Balaraman, Ekambaram</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Srimani, Dipankar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diskin-Posner, Yael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milstein, David</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Direct synthesis of secondary amines from alcohols and ammonia catalyzed by a ruthenium pincer complex</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catalysis Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alcohol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ammonia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Homogenous catalysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ru-pincer complex</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secondary amine</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SPRINGER</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">233 SPRING ST, NEW YORK, NY 10013 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">145</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">139-144</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Efficient and selective direct synthesis of secondary amines from primary alcohols and ammonia with liberation of water has been achieved, with high turnover numbers and with no generation of waste.
