Employing a bifunctional catalyst based on a copper(I)/NHC complex and a guanidine organocatalyst, catalytic ester reductions to alcohols with H2 as terminal reducing agent are facilitated. The approach taken here enables the simultaneous activation of esters through hydrogen bonding and formation of nucleophilic copper(I) hydrides from H2, resulting in a catalytic hydride transfer to esters. The reduction step is further facilitated by a proton shuttle mediated by the guanidinium subunit. This bifunctional approach to ester reductions for the first time shifts the reactivity of generally considered "soft"copper(I) hydrides to previously unreactive "hard"ester electrophiles and paves the way for a replacement of stoichiometric reducing agents by a catalyst and H2.

Abstract: Several highly efficient and magnetically recyclable cobalt catalytic systems were prepared using magnetic chitosan and some safe and available organic compounds (Co-ligand@MNPs/Ch). The structure of these nanocomposites was confirmed by various physicochemical techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, TGA, VSM, TEM, SEM, CHNS and ICP-OES. These nano composites exhibit remarkable catalytic efficiency for Suzuki and Heck cross-coupling reactions in mild and green reaction conditions. The facile accessibility of starting materials, possible performance in air and eco-friendly conditions are merits of our catalysts. In addition, to describe and go insight to role and effect of ligands present in these catalysts, electrostatic interactions, density functional theory (DFT) model in molecular method were employed.

Well-defined and air-stable PN3-pincer manganese(ii) complexes were synthesized and used for the hydrogenation of aldehydes into alcohols under mild conditions using MeOH as a solvent. This protocol is applicable for a wide range of aldehydes containing various functional groups. Importantly, α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, including ynals, are hydrogenated with the CC double bond/CC triple bond intact. Our methodology was demonstrated for the conversion of biomass derived feedstocks such as furfural and 5-formylfurfural to furfuryl alcohol and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfuryl alcohol respectively.
