Abstract
We present the first example of Au-catalyzed reduction of nitriles into primary amines. In contrast to monohydrosilanes which are completely unreactive, diethylsilane (a dihydrosilane) is capable of reducing aryl or alkyl nitriles into primary amines under catalysis by Au nanoparticles supported on TiO2, via a smooth double hydrosilylation pathway. The produced labile N-disilylamines are readily deprotected by HCl in Et2O to form the hydrochloric salts of the corresponding amines in very good to excellent yields. The catalyst is recyclable and reusable at least in 5 consecutive runs.

Abstract
Selective synthesis of primary amines from nitriles is challenging in synthetic chemistry due to the possible en-route generation of various amines and imines. Herein, we report a practical and operationally simple MOtBu-mediated (M=Na, K) transfer hydrogenation of nitriles to the corresponding primary amines with a relatively unexplored sacrificial hydrogen source (dimethylamine borane). The strategy encompasses a broad substrate scope under transition metal-free conditions and does not require any solvent. The mechanistic investigation was performed with the aid of control experiments and spectroscopic studies. The GC analysis of the reaction mixture exhibited the evolution of the H2 gas. Additionally, detailed computational calculations were undertaken to shed light on the possible intermediates and transition states involved during the present protocol.

Abstract
A novel, efficient, and recyclable mesoporous Fe3O4@SiO2@SBA-3@CPTMS@Arg-Cu nanocatalyst was synthesized by grafting l-arginine (with the ability to coordinate with Cu) onto a mixed phase of a magnetic mesoporous SBA-3 support. The catalyst was characterized using several techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The resulting solid material possessed a surface area of 145 m2 g-1 and a total pore volume of 34 cm3 g-1. The prepared mesoporous material was studied as a practical, recyclable, and chemoselective catalyst in some organic functional group transformations such as the conversion of nitriles to amides and synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles. This novel magnetic nanocatalyst proved to be effective and provided the products in high to excellent yields under green solvent conditions. Meanwhile, the as-prepared Fe3O4@SiO2@SBA-3@CPTMS@Arg-Cu demonstrated excellent reusability and stability under reaction conditions, and its catalytic activity shown only a slight decrease after seven consecutive runs. Therefore, the as-synthesized magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2@SBA-3@CPTMS@Arg-Cu has broad prospects for practical applications, and offers various benefits such as simplicity, nontoxicity, low cost, simple work-up, and an environmentally benign nature.

Abstract
Catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles represents an efficient and sustainable one-step synthesis of valuable bulk and fine chemicals. We report herein a molecular cobalt electrocatalyst for selective hydrogenative coupling of nitriles with amines using protons as the hydrogen source. The key to success for this reductive reaction is the use of an electrocatalytic approach for efficient cobalt-hydride generation through a sequence of cathodic reduction and protonation. As only electrons (e- ) and protons (H+ ) as the redox equivalent and hydrogen source, this general electrohydrogenation protocol is showcased by highly selective and straightforward synthesis of various functionalized and structurally diverse amines, as well as deuterium isotope labeling applications. Mechanistic studies reveal that the electrogenerated cobalt-hydride transfer to nitrile process is the rate-determining step.

Abstract
Despite its unique physicochemical properties, the catalytic application of nickel carbide (Ni3 C) in organic synthesis is rare. In this study, we report well-defined nanocrystalline Ni3 C (nano-Ni3 C) as a highly active catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines. The activity of the aluminum-oxide-supported nano-Ni3 C (nano-Ni3 C/Al2 O3 ) catalyst surpasses that of Ni nanoparticles. Various aromatic and aliphatic nitriles and dinitriles were successfully converted to the corresponding primary amines under mild conditions (1 bar H2 pressure). Furthermore, the nano-Ni3 C/Al2 O3 catalyst was reusable and applicable to gram-scale experiments. Density functional theory calculations suggest the formation of polar hydrogen species on the nano-Ni3 C surface, which were attributed to the high activity of nano-Ni3 C towards nitrile hydrogenation. This study demonstrates the utility of metal carbides as a new class of catalysts for liquid-phase organic reactions.

Abstract
Herein we report a density functional theory (DFT)-guided mechanistic investigation of the nitrile reduction reaction, which exhibits a solvent-dependent chemodivergence. This study reveals an interesting mechanistic picture, highlighting the exact role of a protic solvent, isopropanol, in regulating the reaction outcome. The explicit solvent effect involving polar protic isopropanol favors imine metathesis by proton hopping through stepwise addition and elimination steps and thus produces a secondary amine as the final product. In contrast, the nonpolar solvent n-hexane is incapable of facilitating the proton migration and stops the solvent-assisted imine metathesis. As a result, only primary amines are obtained as the final product. This DFT study provides a recipe for the choice of solvents that can dictate chemoselectivity in product formation.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions for attaining plethora of organic scaffolds have evolved as a key domain of research in academia and industry. These protocols are atom-economic, greener, in line with the goal of sustainability, eventually pave the way for numerous novel environmentally benign methodologies. Appealing progress has been achieved in the realm of homogeneous catalysis utilizing noble metals. Owing to their high cost, less abundance along with toxicity issues led the scientific community to search for sustainable alternatives. In this context, earth- abundant base metals have gained substantial attention culminating enormous progress in recent years, predominantly with pincer-type complexes of nickel, cobalt, iron, and manganese. In this regard, group VI chromium, molybdenum and tungsten complexes have been overlooked and remain underdeveloped despite their earth-abundance and bio-compatibility. This review delineates a comprehensive overview in the arena of homogeneously catalysed (de)hydrogenation reactions using group VI base metals chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten till date. Various reactions have been described; hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling, hydrogen auto transfer, along with their scope and brief mechanistic insights.

Abstract
Alkylnitriles play important roles in many fields because of their unique electronic properties and structural characteristics. Incorporating cyanoalkyl with characteristic spectroscopy and reactivity properties into amino acids and peptides is of special interest for potential imaging and therapeutic purposes. Here, we report a copper-catalyzed asymmetric cyanoalkylation of C(sp3)-H. In the reactions, glycine derivatives can effectively couple with various cycloalkanone oxime esters with high enantioselectivities, and the reaction can be applied to the late-stage modification of peptides with good yields and excellent stereoselectivities, which is useful for modern peptide synthesis and drug discovery. The mechanistic studies show that the in situ formed copper complex by the coordination of glycine derivatives and chiral phosphine Cu catalyst can not only mediate the single electronic reduction of cycloalkanone oxime ester but also control the stereoselectivity of the cyanoalkylation reaction.

Abstract
Electrochemical C-N coupling reactions based on abundant small molecules (such as CO2 and N2) have attracted increasing attention as a new "green synthetic strategy" for the synthesis of organonitrogen compounds, which have been widely used in organic synthesis, materials chemistry, and biochemistry. The traditional technology employed for the synthesis of organonitrogen compounds containing C-N bonds often requires the addition of metal reagents or oxidants under harsh conditions with high energy consumption and environmental concerns. By contrast, electrosynthesis avoids the use of other reducing agents or oxidants by utilizing "electrons", which are the cleanest "reagent" and can reduce the generation of by-products, consistent with the atomic economy and green chemistry. In this study, we present a comprehensive review on the electrosynthesis of high value-added organonitrogens from the abundant CO2 and nitrogenous small molecules (N2, NO, NO2-, NO3-, NH3, etc.) via the C-N coupling reaction. The associated fundamental concepts, theoretical models, emerging electrocatalysts, and value-added target products, together with the current challenges and future opportunities are discussed. This critical review will greatly increase the understanding of electrochemical C-N coupling reactions, and thus attract research interest in the fixation of carbon and nitrogen.

Abstract
A Ru(II)-catalyzed C-H alkenylation of benzimidates with unactivated alkenes providing ortho-alkenylated benzonitriles in good to excellent yields in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner is described. In the reaction, an imidate group converted into a nitrile under the reaction conditions. The alkenylation reaction was compatible with various substituted benzimidates as well as functionalized unactivated olefins, including ibuprofen-, neproxen-, coumarin-, and cholesterol-substituted alkenes. A feasible reaction mechanism was proposed to account for the present alkenylation reaction.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is now a growing threat to human health, further exacerbated by the lack of new antibiotics. We describe the practical synthesis of a series of substituted polyamine succinamides and branched polyamines that are potential new antibiotics against both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, including MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They are prepared via 1,4‐Michael addition of acrylonitrile and then hydrogenation of the nitrile functional groups to primary amines. They are built upon the framework of the naturally occurring polyamines thermine (3.3.3, norspermine) and spermine (3.4.3), homo‐ and heterodimeric polyamine succinic amides. Linking two of the same or different polyamines together via amide bonds can be achieved by introducing a carboxylic acid group on the first polyamine, then coupling that released carboxylic acid to a free primary amine in the second polyamine. If the addition of positive charges on the amino groups along the polyamine chains are a key factor in their antimicrobial activity against Gram‐negative bacteria, then increasing them will increase the antimicrobial activity. Synthesising polyamine amide dimers will increase the total net positive charge compared to their monomers. The design and practical synthesis of such homo‐ and hetero‐dimers of linear polyamines, spermine and norspermine, are reported. Several of these compounds do not display significant antibacterial activity against Gram‐positive or Gram‐negative bacteria, including MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, the most charged analogue, a branched polyamine carrying eight positive charges at physiological pH, displays antibiofilm activity with a 50 % reduction in PAO1 at 16–32 μg mL−1.

Abstract
Due to the elusive structure-function relationship, traditional nanocatalysts always yield limited catalytic activity and selectivity, making them practically difficult to replace natural enzymes in wide industrial and biomedical applications. Accordingly, single-atom catalysts (SACs), defined as catalysts containing atomically dispersed active sites on a support material, strikingly show the highest atomic utilization and drastically boosted catalytic performances to functionally mimic or even outperform natural enzymes. The molecular characteristics of SACs (e.g., unique metal-support interactions and precisely located metal sites), especially single-atom iron catalysts (Fe-SACs) that have a similar catalytic structure to the catalytically active center of metalloprotease, enable the accurate identification of active centers in catalytic reactions, which afford ample opportunity for unraveling the structure-function relationship of Fe-SACs. In this review, we present an overview of the recent advances of support materials for anchoring an atomic dispersion of Fe. Subsequently, we highlight the structural designability of support materials as two sides of the same coin. Moreover, the applications described herein illustrate the utility of Fe-SACs in a broad scope of industrially and biologically important reactions. Finally, we present an outlook of the major challenges and opportunities remaining for the successful combination of single Fe atoms and catalysts.

Abstract
There are many severe bacterial infections notorious for their ability to become resistant to clinically relevant antibiotics. Indeed, antibiotic resistance is a growing threat to human health, further exacerbated by the lack of new antibiotics. We now describe the practical synthesis of a series of substituted long linear polyamines that produce rapid antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. These compounds also reduce biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The most potent analogues are thermine, spermine, and 1,12-diaminododecane homo- and heterodimeric polyamine succinic acid amides. They are of the order of activity of the aminoglycoside antibiotics kanamycin and tobramycin as positive controls. Their low human cell toxicity is demonstrated in ex vivo hemolytic assays where they did not produce even 5% hemolysis of human erythrocytes. These long, linear polyamines are a new class of broad-spectrum antibacterials active against drug-resistant pathogens.

Abstract
Upcoming biorefineries, such as lignin-first provide renewable aromatics containing unique aliphatic alcohols. In this context, a Cu-ZrO2 catalyzed hydrogen borrowing approach was established to yield tertiary amine from the lignin model monomer 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propanol and the actual lignin-derived monomers, (3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol and dihydroconiferyl alcohol), with dimethylamine. Various industrial metal catalysts were evaluated, resulting in nearly quantitative mass balances for most catalysts. Identified intermediates, side and reaction products were placed into a corresponding reaction network, supported by kinetic evolution experiments. Cu-ZrO2 was selected as most suitable catalyst combining high alcohol conversion with respectable aliphatic tertiary amine selectivity. Low pressure H2 was key for high catalyst activity and tertiary amine selectivity, mainly by hindering undesired reactant dimethylamine disproportionation and alcohol amidation. Besides dimethylamine model, diverse secondary amine reactants were tested with moderate to high tertiary amine yields. As most active catalytic site, highly dispersed Cu species in strong contact with ZrO2 is suggested. ToF-SIMS, N2 O chemisorption, TGA and XPS of spent Cu-ZrO2 revealed that imperfect amine product desorption and declining surface Cu lowered the catalytic activity upon catalyst reuse, while thermal reduction readily restored the initial activity and selectivity demonstrating catalyst reuse.

Abstract
In the arena of functional group-oriented organic synthesis, the nitrile or cyano functionality is of immense importance. The presence of nucleophilic N -atom, π-coordinating ability of the triple bond, and electrophilic C-center imparts unique and interesting reactivity. Owing to the ability of the nitrile to transform into various other functional groups or intermediates, the chemistry is very rich and diverse. In particular, the involvement of nitrile in numerous organic reactions such as inter- or intramolecular alkyne insertion, [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition with alkynes, [3 + 2] cycloaddition with azides, [4 + 2] cycloaddition with diene allow the synthesis of many important carbocycles and heterocycles. Furthermore, the nitrile serves as a directing group in many C-H bond functionalization reactions to introduce diverse functionality and participate as a radical acceptor in radical cascade strategies to obtain a large variety of functional molecules. This review mainly focuses on the reactivity and diverse synthetic application of the nitrile including C-H bond functionalization, alkyne insertion, cycloaddition, and thermal or photochemical cascade strategy. The objective of the current review aims at bringing out the striking collection of various nitrile-triggered organic transformations.

Abstract
An efficient and highly selective heterogeneous catalyst system for nitrile hydrogenation was developed using unsupported palladium nanopores (PdNPore). The PdNPore-catalyzed selective hydrogenation of nitriles proceeded smoothly, without any additives, under mild conditions (low H2 pressure and low temperature) to yield primary amines with satisfactory to excellent yields. Systematic studies demonstrated that the high activity and excellent selectivity of the PdNPore originated from its good Lewis acidity and porous structure. No palladium leached from the PdNPore during the hydrogenation reaction. Moreover, the catalyst was easily recovered and reused without any loss of catalytic activity. A deuterium-hydrogen exchange reaction clearly indicated that the present hydrogenation involves heterolytic H2 splitting on the surface of the PdNPore catalyst.

Abstract
The nitrile or cyano (-CN) group is one of the most appreciated and effective functional groups in organic synthesis, having a polar unsaturated C-N triple bond. Despite sufficient stability and being intrinsically inert, the nitrile group can be easily transformed into many other functional groups, such as amines, carboxylic acids, ketones, etc. which makes it a vital group in organic synthesis. On the other hand, despite several boronic acids having a low level of genotoxicity, they have found wide applicability in the field of organic synthesis, especially in transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Recently, transition-metal-catalyzed cascade additions or addition/cyclization processes of boronic acids to the nitrile group open up exciting and useful strategies to prepare a variety of functional molecules through the formation of C-C, C-N and CO bonds. Boronic acids can be added to the cyano functionality through catalytic carbometallation or through a radical cascade process to provide newer pathways for the rapid construction of various important acyclic ketones or amides, carbamidines, carbocycles and N,O-heterocycles. The present review focuses on various transition-metal-catalyzed additions of boronic acids via carbometallation or radical cascade processes using the cyano group as an acceptor.

Abstract
Flow reaction methods have been developed to selectively synthesize tertiary, secondary, and primary amines depending on heterogeneous platinum-group metal species under catalytic hydrogenation conditions using nitriles as starting materials. A 10 % Pd/C-packed catalyst cartridge affords symmetrically substituted tertiary amines in good to excellent yields. A 10 % Rh/C-packed catalyst cartridge enables the divergent synthesis of secondary and primary amines, with either cyclohexane or acetic acid as a solvent, respectively. Reaction parameters, such as the metal catalyst, solvent, and reaction temperature, and continuous-flow conditions, such as flow direction and second support of the catalyst in a catalyst cartridge, are quite important for controlling the reaction between the hydrogenation of nitriles and nucleophilic attack of in situ-generated amines to imine intermediates. A wide variety of aliphatic and aromatic nitriles could be highly selectively transformed into the corresponding tertiary, secondary, and primary amines by simply changing the metal species of the catalyst or flow parameters. Furthermore, the selective continuous-flow methodologies are applied over at least 72 h to afford three different types of amines in 80-99 % yield without decrease in catalytic activities.

Abstract
Silica supported ultrasmall Ni-nanoparticles allow for general and selective hydrogenation of all kinds of nitriles to primary amines under mild conditions. By calcination of a template material generated from Ni(ii)nitrate and colloidal silica under air and subsequent reduction in the presence of molecular hydrogen the optimal catalyst is prepared. The prepared supported nanoparticles are stable, can be conveniently used and easily recycled. The applicability of the optimal catalyst material is shown by hydrogenation of >110 diverse aliphatic and aromatic nitriles including functionalized and industrially relevant substrates. Challenging heterocyclic nitriles, specifically cyanopyridines, provided the corresponding primary amines in good to excellent yields. The resulting amines serve as important precursors and intermediates for the preparation of numerous life science products and polymers. Silica supported ultrasmall Ni-nanoparticles allow for general and selective hydrogenations of all kinds of nitriles to primary amines under mild conditions.![]()

Abstract
A simple and efficient copper-catalyzed selective transfer hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amine-boranes and secondary amines with an oxazaborolidine-BH3 complex is reported. The selectivity control was achieved under mild conditions by switching the solvent and the copper catalysts. More than 30 primary amine-boranes and 40 secondary amines were synthesized via this strategy in high selectivity and yields of up to 95%. The strategy was applied to the synthesis of 15N labeled in 89% yield.

Abstract
The product selectivity in catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles is strongly correlated with the structure of the catalyst. In this work, two types of atomically dispersed Pd species stabilized on the defect-rich nanodiamond-graphene (ND@G) hybrid support: single Pd atoms (Pd1/ND@G) and fully exposed Pd clusters with average three Pd atoms (Pdn/ND@G), were fabricated. The two catalysts show distinct difference in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of nitriles. The Pd1/ND@G catalyst preferentially generates secondary amines (Turnover frequency (TOF@333 K 709 h−1, selectivity >98%), while the Pdn/ND@G catalyst exhibits high selectivity towards primary amines (TOF@313 K 543 h−1, selectivity >98%) under mild reaction conditions. Detailed characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the structure of atomically dispersed Pd catalysts governs the dissociative adsorption pattern of H2 and also the hydrogenation pathway of the benzylideneimine (BI) intermediate, resulting in different product selectivity over Pd1/ND@G and Pdn/ND@G, respectively. The structure-performance relationship established over atomically dispersed Pd catalysts provides valuable insights for designing catalysts with tunable selectivity. The selective hydrogenation of nitriles to prepare corresponding amines is highly desired in chemistry industry. Here, the authors selectively obtained secondary amines and primary amines over two types of atomically dispersed Pd catalysts supported on the nanodiamond-graphene hybrid support.

Abstract
Nitrile (C≡N bond) activation for direct organic synthesis has been less explored so far due to a high redox potential of nitrile and its low dissociation energy of C−CN bond. Herein, we demonstrate a direct reductive coupling of nitriles and 1,2-phenylenediamines to yield various benzimidazoles in excellent yields (95%–99%) by using rhodium phosphide (Rh2P) catalyst supported on lignin-derived carbon (LC) using H2 (or hydrazine hydrate) as a hydrogen source. The high catalytic performance of Rh2P/LC is attributed to enhanced charge transfer to Rh and strong P−Rh interactions. Our isotope trace experiment confirms the presence of H/D exchange between H2 and the inert –CD3 group of CD3CN via an intramolecular D-shift. Reusability of Rh2P/LC is further demonstrated by a seven-time recycling without evident loss of activity. This research thus highlights a great potential in organic transformation with nitrile as a synthetic building block. Nitrile was developed as synthetic building block for organic synthesis Reductive coupling of nitriles to 1,2-phenylenediamines yielded benzimidazoles Strong P−Rh interaction and charge transfer to Rh enhanced Rh2P activity H/D exchange between H2 and –CD3 in CD3CN occurred via intramolecular D-shift

Abstract
This paper reports an unprecedented trifunctionalization of tertiary enaminones for the synthesis phosphoryl nitriles by the reactions of enaminones with diarylphosphine oxides and trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) without the use of any metal reagent. Employing tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide (TBAH) as the catalyst (0.2 equiv) enables discrete cyanophosphonation. On the other hand, selective proximal cyanophosphonation has been realized in the presence of acetic acid only (AcOH).

Abstract
Precisely controlling the spatial intimacy of multiple active sites at sub-nanoscale in heterogeneous catalysts can improve their selectivity and activity. Herein, we realize a highly selective nitrile-to-secondary imine transformation through a cascaded hydrogenation and condensation process by Pt1/CoBOx comprising the binary active sites of the single-dispersed Pt and interfacial Lewis acidic B. Atomic Pt sites with large inter-distances (>nanometers) only activate hydrogen for nitrile hydrogenation, but inhibit condensation. Both adjacent B…B on CoBOx and neighbouring Pt…B pairs with close intimacy of ~0.45 nm can satisfy the spatial prerequisites for condensation. Mechanism investigations demonstrate the energetically favorable pathway occurred on adjacent Lewis acidic B sites through the nitrile adsorption (acid-base interaction), hydrogenation via hydrogen spillover from Pt to B sites and sequential condensation. Strong intermolecular tension and steric hindrance of secondary imines on active sites lead to their effective desorption and thereby a high chemoselectivity of secondary imines. Precisely controlling the spatial intimacy of multiple active sites in heterogeneous catalysts can significantly affect the selectivity and activity. Here the authors show a binary active site of single atom Pt and Lewis acidic B with spatial intimacy enables a highly selective nitrile-to-secondary imine transformation.

Abstract
A rhodium terpyridine complex catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines with i-PrOH as hydrogen source and water as solvent has been developed. The catalytic system can work at a substrate/catalyst (S/C) ratio of 2000, with a turnover frequency (TOF) up to 3360 h-1 , which represents one of the most active catalytic transfer hydrogenation systems for nitroarene reduction. The catalytic system is operationally simple and the protocol could be scaled up to 20 gram scale. The water-soluble catalyst bearing a carboxyl group could be recycled 15 times without significant loss of activity.

Abstract
Electrifying chemical manufacturing using renewable energy is an attractive approach to reduce the dependence on fossil energy sources in chemical industries. Primary amines are important organic building blocks; however, the synthesis is often hindered by the poor selectivity because of the formation of secondary and tertiary amine byproducts. Herein, we report an electrocatalytic route to produce ethylamine selectively through an electroreduction of acetonitrile at ambient temperature and pressure. Among all the electrocatalysts, Cu nanoparticles exhibit the highest ethylamine Faradaic efficiency (~96%) at -0.29 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. Under optimal conditions, we achieve an ethylamine partial current density of 846 mA cm-2. A 20-hour stable performance is demonstrated on Cu at 100 mA cm-2 with an 86% ethylamine Faradaic efficiency. Moreover, the reaction mechanism is investigated by computational study, which suggests the high ethylamine selectivity on Cu is due to the moderate binding affinity for the reaction intermediates.

Abstract
Cobalt-doped hybrid materials consisting of metal oxides and carbon derived from chitin were prepared, characterized and tested for industrially relevant nitrile hydrogenations. The optimal catalyst supported onto MgO showed, after pyrolysis at 700 °C, magnesium oxide nanocubes decorated with carbon-enveloped Co nanoparticles. This special structure allows for the selective hydrogenation of diverse and demanding nitriles to the corresponding primary amines under mild conditions (e.g. 70 °C, 20 bar H2 ). The advantage of this novel catalytic material is showcased for industrially important substrates, including adipodinitrile, picolinonitrile, and fatty acid nitriles. Notably, the developed system outperformed all other tested commercial catalysts, for example, Raney Nickel and even noble-metal-based systems in these transformations.
