Abstract
The utilization of economical and environmentally benign transition metals in crucial catalytic processes is pivotal for sustainable advancement in synthetic organic chemistry. Iron, as the most abundant transition metal in the Earth's crust, has gained significant attention for this purpose. A combination of FeCl2 (5 mol%) in the presence of phenanthroline (10 mol%) and NaOtBu (1.5 equivalent) proved effective for the C(α)-alkylation of oxindole, employing challenging secondary alcohol as a non-hazardous alkylating agent. The C(α)-alkylation of oxindole was optimized in green solvent or under neat conditions. The substrate scope encompasses a broad array of substituted oxindoles with various secondary alcohols. Further post-functionalization of the C(α)-alkylated oxindole products demonstrated the practical utility of this catalytic alkylation. One-pot C-H hydroxylation of alkylated oxindoles yielded 3-alkyl-3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles using air as the most sustainable oxidant. Low E-factors (3.61 to 4.19) and good Eco-scale scores (74 to 76) of these sustainable catalytic protocols for the alkylation and one-pot sequential alkylation-hydroxylation of oxindoles demonstrated minimum waste generation. Plausible catalytic paths are proposed on the basis of past reports and control experiments, which suggested that a borrowing hydrogen pathway is involved in this alkylation.

Abstract
Alcohols are abundant and attractive feedstock molecules for organic synthesis. Many methods for their functionalization require them to first be converted into a more activated derivative, while recent years have seen a vast increase in the number of complexity-building transformations that directly harness unprotected alcohols. This Review discusses how transition metal catalysis can be used toward this goal. These transformations are broadly classified into three categories. Deoxygenative functionalizations, representing derivatization of the C-O bond, enable the alcohol to act as a leaving group toward the formation of new C-C bonds. Etherifications, characterized by derivatization of the O-H bond, represent classical reactivity that has been modernized to include mild reaction conditions, diverse reaction partners, and high selectivities. Lastly, chain functionalization reactions are described, wherein the alcohol group acts as a mediator in formal C-H functionalization reactions of the alkyl backbone. Each of these three classes of transformation will be discussed in context of intermolecular arylation, alkylation, and related reactions, illustrating how catalysis can enable alcohols to be directly harnessed for organic synthesis.

Abstract
We report the atom-economic and sustainable synthesis of biologically important 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxide (DHBD) derivatives from readily available aromatic primary alcohols and 2-aminobenzenesulfonamide catalyzed by nickel(II)-N∧N∧S pincer-type complexes. The synthesized nickel complexes have been well-studied by elemental and spectroscopic (FT-IR, NMR, and HRMS) analyses. The solid-state molecular structure of complex 2 has been authenticated by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. Furthermore, a series of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxide derivatives have been synthesized (24 examples) utilizing a 3 mol % Ni(II) catalyst through acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of benzyl alcohols with benzenesulfonamide. Gratifyingly, the catalytic protocol is highly selective with the yield up to 93% and produces eco-friendly water/hydrogen gas as byproducts. The control experiments and plausible mechanistic investigations indicate that the coupling of the in situ generated aldehyde with benzenesulfonamide leads to the desired product. In addition, a large-scale synthesis of one of the thiadiazine derivatives unveils the synthetic usefulness of the current methodology.

Abstract
Catalytic activities of Mn(I) complexes derived from expensive MnBr(CO)5 salt have been explored in various dehydrogenative transformations. However, the reactivity and selectivity of inexpensive high spin Mn(II) complexes are uncommon. Herein, we have synthesized four new Mn(II) complexes and explored switchable alkenylation and alkylation of methyl heteroarenes employing a single Mn(II)catalyst. The developed protocol selectively furnishes a series of functionalized E-heteroarenes and C-alkylated heteroarenes with good to excellent yields. Various medicinally and synthetically useful compounds are successfully synthesized using our developed protocol. Various controls and kinetics experiments were executed to shed light on the mechaism,which reveals that α-C-H bond breaking of alcohol is the slowest step.

Abstract
In this work, we have constructed three new Co(II) complexes in which steric features govern their structural geometry. The metal ligand-cooperation behavior of the alkoxy arm is utilized to explore the catalytic activities of these complexes with respect to dehydrogenation. A wide range of C-3-substituted quinoline and quinazoline derivatives were synthesized in high yields. The developed protocol's usefulness is enhanced by the chemoselective transformation of different fatty alcohols to synthesize heterocycles having distal unsaturation. Various kinetic, mechanistic, and control studies were conducted to comprehend the reaction route.

Abstract
A series of cascade reactions that produce a range of functionalized aromatic heterocyclic compounds with pyrazole/pyrazoline cores have been developed. The method relies on a metal-free dehydrogenative process to produce in-situ benzaldehydes. The produced benzaldehyde was then allowed to react with some other substances, including acetophenone, pyrazole amine, and phenylhydrazine. The intermediate produced from these substrates underwent several chemical processes, including electrocyclization, the aza-Diels-Alder reaction, and the formation of intramolecular C-N bonds. These positive outcomes would open up the possibility of producing biologically active pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine and pyrazoline derivatives through a variety of possible reactions.

Abstract
Herein, we report a Zn(II)-catalyzed solvent-free sustainable synthesis of tri- and tetra-substituted pyridines using alcohols as the primary feedstock and NH4OAc as the nitrogen source. Using a well-defined air-stable Zn(II)-catalyst, 1a, featuring a redox-active tridentate azo-aromatic pincer, 2-((4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline (La), a wide variety of unsymmetrical 2,4,6-substituted pyridines were prepared by three-component coupling of primary and secondary alcohols with NH4OAc. Catalyst 1a is equally compatible with the four-component coupling. Unsymmetrical 2,4,6-substituted pyridines were also prepared via a four-component coupling of a primary alcohol with two different secondary alcohols and NH4OAc. A series of tetra-substituted pyridines were prepared up to 67% yield by coupling primary and secondary alcohols with 1-phenylpropan-1-one or 1,2-diphenylethan-1-one and NH4OAc. The 1a-catalyzed reactions also proceeded efficiently upon replacing the secondary alcohols with the corresponding ketones, producing the desired tri- and tetra-substituted pyridines in higher yields in a shorter reaction time. A few control experiments were performed to unveil the mechanistic aspects, which indicates that the active participation of the aryl-azo ligand during catalysis enables the Zn(II)-complex to act as an efficient catalyst for the present multicomponent reactions. Aerial oxygen acts as an oxidant during the Zn(II)-catalyzed dehydrogenation of alcohols, producing H2O and H2O2 as byproducts.

Abstract
This review highlights the most recent reports in three powerful and ever-growing fields of borrowing hydrogen, acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling, and base-mediated hydride transfer strategies; which pave the way for generating reactive intermediates via shuttling hydrogen (or hydride) between starting materials without any need for an external hydrogen source to easily construct more complex structures. There is a thorough focus on diversifying the utility of alcohols for C/N-alkylation leading to the synthesis of branched ketones, alcohols, amines, indols, and 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycles such as pyridines and pyrimidines, various transformations with the focus on C-C and C-N bond-forming reactions via metal-based catalysis or metal-free approaches in this context to give a global overview in this area.

Herein, we report a simple, phosphine-free, and inexpensive catalytic system based on a manganese(II) complex for synthesizing different important N-heterocycles such as quinolines, pyrroles, and pyridines from amino alcohols and ketones. Several control experiments, kinetic studies, and DFT calculations were carried out to support the plausible reaction mechanism. We also detected two potential intermediates in the catalytic cycle using ESI-MS analysis. Based on these studies, a metal-ligand cooperative mechanism was proposed.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrated Mn-catalyzed selective C-3 functionalization of indoles with alcohols. The developed catalyst can also furnish bis(indolyl)methanes from the same set of substrates under slightly modified reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies reveal that the C-3 functionalization of indoles is going via a borrowing hydrogen pathway. To highlight the practical utility, a diverse range of substrates including nine structurally important drug molecules are synthesized. Furthermore, we also introduced a one-pot cascade strategy for synthesizing C-3 functionalized indoles directly from 2-aminophenyl ethanol and alcohol.

Abstract
RuII-Complexes of chelating heteroditopic N-heterocyclic carbene ligands featuring imidazol-2-ylidene (ImNHC) and 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (tzNHC) donors connected via a CH2 spacer, 1a-c, were found to be very effective catalysts for the cross-coupling of secondary and primary alcohols with the elimination of H2O. Diverse β-alkylated secondary alcohols were thus obtained by following this method in excellent yields of up to 95% by employing a very low catalyst (1a) loading of 0.01-0.001 mol% along with the inexpensive base KOH. Mechanistically, the present protocol follows the borrowing hydrogen strategy which was established by various control experiments including deuterium labelling experiments and importantly, 1H NMR and ESI-MS analyses validated the participation of a Ru-H species in the catalytic cycle. Remarkably, the present system displayed the highest Ru-based TON of 396 000 for the β-benzylation of 1-phenylethanol with a catalyst loading of 1 ppm (0.0001 mol%). Additionally, diverse 2-alkylaminoquinoline derivatives were synthesized in a one-pot manner from 2-aminobenzyl alcohol, 2-arylacetonitrile, and various primary alcohols.

Abstract
The density functional theory (DFT) method was employed to investigate the reaction mechanism of the hydrogen activation and asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of acetophenone catalyzed by a well-defined phosphine-free Mn(I)-NNS complex. The calculation results indicate that the Mn-NNS complex has potential high catalytic hydrogenation activity. Meanwhile, the hydrogen transfer step of this reaction is proposed to be a concerted but asynchronous process, and the hydride transfer precedes proton transfer. This work also pointed out that the stereoselectivity of ATH catalyzed by the Mn(I)-NNS complex mainly originates from the noncovalent interaction between the substrate and the catalyst. Additionally, the catalytic activities of Mn-NNS complexes with different X ligands (X = CO, Cl, H, OMe, NCMe, CCMe, and CHCHMe) were compared, and the calculated total reaction energy barriers were all viable, which indicates that these Mn-NNS complexes show higher CO bond hydrogenation activity under mild conditions. This theoretical study predicts that the reactions catalyzed by complexes with H and NCMe ligands exhibit high stereoselectivity with enantiomeric excess (ee) values of 97% and 93%, respectively.

Abstract
The usage of earth-abundant, nontoxic transition metals in place of rare noble metals is a central goal in catalysis. This would be especially interesting when the reactivity and selectivity patterns can be tuned. Herein, we introduced the first Mn-catalyzed selective C-alkylation and olefination of fluorene, and indene with alcohols. Various substrates including benzylic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic primary and secondary alcohols are employed as alkylating agents. Mechanistic investigations and a kinetic study underpin the involvement of the olefinated intermediate to furnish the alkylated product.
