Transition-metal catalyzed alcohol acceptorless dehydrogenation (AAD) is an atom-economical and environmentally benign alcohol oxidation approach that yields an equivalent of hydrogen gas for every ketone or aldehyde product…
Transition-metal complexes bearing outer-sphere pendent bases show enhanced acceptorless dehydrogenation (ADH) catalysis rates (relative to analogs without pendent bases) as a result of Metal-Ligand cooperativity…
While there are several reported 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)biphenyl (BIPHEP)-based ligands bearing _meta_-substituted -P(3,5-R2-Ph)2 and _para_-substituted -P(4-R-Ph)2 groups, there are currently no literature articles reports of BIPHEPs bearing _ortho_-substituted -P(2-R-Ph)2 groups (2-R-BIPHEP)…
