Anionic α-diimine cobalt complexes, such as [K(thf)1.5{(DippBIAN)Co(η4-cod)}] (1; Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl, cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene), catalyze the dehydrogenation of several amine-boranes. Based on the excellent catalytic properties, an especially effective transfer hydrogenation protocol for challenging olefins, imines, and N-heteroarenes was developed. NH3BH3 was used as a dihydrogen surrogate, which transferred up to two equivalents of H2 per NH3BH3. Detailed spectroscopic and mechanistic studies are presented, which document the rate determination by acidic protons in the amine-borane.

The development of cobalt catalysts that combine easy accessibility and high selectivity constitutes a promising approach to the replacement of noble-metal catalysts in hydrogenation reactions. This report introduces a user-friendly protocol that avoids complex ligands, hazardous reductants, special reaction conditions, and the formation of highly unstable pre-catalysts. Reduction of CoBr2 with LiEt3BH in the presence of alkenes led to the formation of hydrogenation catalysts that effected clean conversions of alkenes, carbonyls, imines, and heteroarenes at mild conditions (3 mol % cat., 2–10 bar H2, 20–80 °C). Poisoning studies and nanoparticle characterization by TEM, EDX, and DLS supported the notion of a heterotopic catalysis mechanism.
