New protocols for controlled reduction of carboxamides to either alcohols or amines were established using a combination of sodium hydride (NaH) and zinc halides (ZnX2). Use of a different halide on ZnX2 dictates the selectivity, wherein the NaH‐ZnI2 system delivers alcohols and NaH‐ZnCl2 gives amines. Extensive mechanistic studies by experimental and theoretical approaches imply that polymeric zinc

A nickel‐catalyzed alkylarylation of active alkenes with tertiary benzylamines was achieved by charge‐transfer‐complex promoted C−N bond activation. The reaction proceeded through initial Ni‐catalyzed C−N bond activation, followed by sequential radical addition, redox and proton abstraction with cleaved amine moiety in the absence of oxidant, and provides an efficient method to prepare various alkyl‐substituted

A new strategy was developed for activation of C–N bond via formation of an amine–I2 charge-transfer complex, which facilitates the inert C–N bond activation via oxidative addition with Ni(0). This strategy has been successfully applied in the Ni-catalyzed carbonylation of benzylamines via direct insertion of CO into the C–N bond, which provided a straightforward and rapid approach to arylacetamides

addition, the Hofmann rearrangement of primary amides in methanol under basic conditions and the oxidative 1,2-rearrangement of propiophenones in trimethyl orthoformate under acidic conditions with those IS-DIBs provided the corresponding methyl carbamates and methyl 2-arylpropanoates, respectively, in good yields. Moreover, treatment of acetophenones with those IS-DIBs in the presence of trifluoromethanesulfonic

example of nickel-catalyzed Heck-type benzylation of aryl olefins with various benzylamines as benzyl electrophiles, and the benzylic C–N bond cleavage was efficiently promoted by the amine–I2 charge transfer complex (CT complex). The combination of low-cost NiCl2 and I2 has been found to facilitate Heck reaction of tertiary benzylamines and alkenes into various benzyl-substituted alkenes in good to
