Reaction of the ligand 1 with RuH(Cl)CO(PPh3)3, followed by reaction with one equivalent of the base KHMDS, gave the mixed phosphine-NHC complex 2, incorporating a C–H-activated bipyridine ligand. Complex 2 has an octahedral structure containing two phosphorus atoms trans to each other, a hydride trans to the NHC ligand, and CO trans to the C–H-activated carbon of the bipyridine ligand. Using the precursor complex Ru(p-cymene)Cl2(CO), reaction with 1 followed by treatment of the intermediate product with one equivalent of KHMDS resulted in formation of the dichloride pincer complexes 3a and 3b, which are in equilibrium, as indicated by variable-temperature 1H NMR. Complex 3a is an octahedral, neutral, and symmetric complex with the CO ligand positioned trans to the central pyridine group of the pincer ligand and the two chlorides trans to each other, as indicated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 3b is cationic, with an outer-sphere chloride. Reaction of the NHC ligand 1 with LiHMDS at low temperature followed by addition of RuH(Cl)CO(PPh3)3 resulted in the mixed phosphine-NHC complex 4, which has an octahedral structure containing phosphorus trans to the hydride, a CO trans to the NHC ligand, and an outer-sphere chloride. Chloride substitution by BArF– gave the X-ray-characterized complex 5. Deprotonation of complex 4 with KHMDS resulted in formation of the dearomatized complex 6. The in situ prepared 6 (from complex 4 and an equivalent of base) is among the best catalysts known for the hydrogenation of nonactivated esters to the corresponding alcohols under mild conditions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</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%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;3.963&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>25</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milstein, David</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balaraman, Ekambaram</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gunanathan, Chidambaram</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gnanaprakasam, Boopathy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zhang, Jing</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Novel ruthenium complexes and their uses in processes for formation and/or hydrogenation of esters, amides and derivatives thereof</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">EP2629889A2, US9045381, US20130281664, WO2012052996A2, WO2012052996A3</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">US 14/702,641</style></number><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;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; line-height: 21.3333px;&quot;&gt;The present invention relates to novel Ruthenium complexes and related borohydride complexes, and their use for (1) hydrogenation of amides (including polyamides) to alcohols and amines; (2) preparing amides from alcohols with amines (including preparing polyamides (e.g., polypeptides) by reacting dialcohols and diamines or by polymerization of amino alcohols); (3) hydrogenation of esters to alcohols (including hydrogenation of cyclic esters (lactones), cyclic di-esters (di-lactones) or polyesters); (4) hydrogenation of organic carbonates (including polycarbonates) to alcohols and of carbamates (including polycarbamates) or urea derivatives to alcohols and amines; (5) dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols to esters; (6) hydrogenation of secondary alcohols to ketones; (7) amidation of esters (synthesis of amides from esters and amines); (8) acylation of alcohols using esters; (9) coupling of alcohols with water to form carboxylic acids; and (10) dehydrogenation of beta-amino alcohols to form pyrazines.

	A one-pot cascade approach for the synthesis of N substituted indoles from amino alcohols and alcohols under additive and base-free conditions with the liberation of water as the only stoichiometric byproduct is reported. The commercially available bench-stable Ni(OTf)2 salt in combination with 1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane (dcype) is very effective for this unprecedented catalytic transformation. A broad range of substrates including aromatic and aliphatic primary alcohols, cyclic and acyclic secondary alcohols, and various substituted 2-aminophenyl ethyl alcohols are employed in the reaction conditions to provide a diverse range of N-alkylated indoles. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeds through tandem N-alkylation via hydrogen autotransfer followed by the cyclization of N-alkylated alcohol intermediate.&lt;/p&gt;

	The development of new catalytic protocols for clean and COx-free hydrogen generation from fundamental feedstocks is always interesting and challenging. Herein, we disclose nickel-catalyzed dihydrogen generation from a mixture of paraformaldehyde-methanol under base-free and activator-free conditions. The dihydrogen generation from this redox combination under neutral, oxidative coupling conditions has been integrated with the hydrogen transfer reactions such as chemo- and stereoselective hydrogenation of alkynes in a tandem manner. This unprecedented strategy provides diverse highly stereoselective olefins with excellent tolerance of reducible functional groups such as ether, silyl ether, aldehyde, keto, ester, nitrile, halides including bromo and iodo groups, and heteroarenes. Additionally, we demonstrated catalytic stereo-interconversion of alkenes under benign conditions. The affordable gram-scale synthesis of some important pharmaceutical bioactive molecules has further enhanced their synthetic value. A tandem dihydrogen generation from a mixture of paraformaldehyde-methanol under base-free conditions followed by semihydrogenation of alkynes is reported.&lt;/p&gt;
