Abstract
We report an efficient and sustainable synthesis of highly substituted pyrimidines promoted by nickel(II)-NNS pincer-type complexes via acceptorless dehydrogenative annulations of readily available alcohols, malononitrile, and guanidine/benzamidine salt under eco-friendly conditions for the first time. Different sets of Ni(II) complexes (C1-C3) encapsulated in NNS pincer-type thiosemicarbazone ligands have been synthesized and authenticated by analytical and spectroscopic (Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and high-resolution mass spectrometry) techniques. The solid state three-dimensional structure of a representative complex (C2) has been determined with the aid of single crystal XRD analysis and confirms a square planar architecture around the nickel ion. Further, the well-defined Ni(II) complexes have been employed as efficient catalysts for the fabrication of a wide range of 4-aminopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives (33 examples) from readily available alcohols with suitable coupling partners such as malononitrile and guanidine/benzamidine under eco-friendly conditions. The current catalytic approach affords maximum yields up to 95% utilizing 3 mol % catalyst loading and water/hydrogen as the only byproduct. A feasible catalytic pathway has been proposed based on the different control experiment reactions, which clearly indicate that the coupling reaction proceeds via aldehyde and benzylidenemalononitrile intermediates. The practicability of the current protocol has been demonstrated by the large-scale synthesis of one of the products, 4-amino-2,6-diphenylpyrimidine-5-carbonitrile, and a short synthesis of a cytosine antifungal analogue.

Abstract
A series of ruthenium complexes (Ru1-Ru4) bearing new NNN-pincer ligands were synthesized in 58-78% yields. All of the complexes are air and moisture stable and were characterized by IR, NMR, and high-resolution mass spectra (HRMS). In addition, the structures of Ru1-Ru3 were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. These Ru(II) complexes exhibited high catalytic efficiency and broad functional group tolerance in the N-methylation reaction of amines using CH3OH as both the C1 source and solvent. Experimental results indicated that the electronic effect of the substituents on the ligands considerably affects the catalytic reactivity of the complexes in which Ru3 bearing an electron-donating OMe group showed the highest activity. Deuterium labeling and control experiments suggested that the dehydrogenation of methanol to generate ruthenium hydride species was the rate-determining step in the reaction. Furthermore, this protocol also provided a ready approach to versatile trideuterated N-methylamines under mild conditions using CD3OD as a deuterated methylating agent.

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
We demonstrate an efficient and sustainable strategy for the direct synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted quinazolines by arene Ru(II)benzhydrazone complex via the eco-friendly sequential acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of 2-aminobenzhydrol derivatives and benzyl alcohols for the first time. The new ruthenium(II) complex of the general formula [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(L1)Cl] (L1-acenaphthenequinone hydrazone) has been synthesized and characterized by analytical, spectroscopic, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. A broad spectrum of 2,4-disubstituted quinazolines have been successfully derived (25 examples) from 2-aminobenzhydrol derivatives with various benzyl alcohols using 1 mol % of catalyst loading in the presence of NH4OAc. The present protocol is highly selective and produces a maximum yield of 95% under mild reaction conditions. The different reaction intermediates detected through control experiments such as aldehyde, 2-aminobenzophenone, benzylidene(amino)phenylmethanone, and 1,2-dihydroquinazoline are isolated and authenticated by the NMR study. Gratifyingly, the coupling reaction is a simple and atom economic with the release of water and hydrogen gas as the only byproducts. A gram-scale synthesis of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenylquinazoline illustrates the synthetic utility of the present protocol.

Abstract
Herein, we report an efficient and sustainable approach for the selective synthesis of ketones by palladium pincer catalyzed β-alkylation of secondary alcohols with aromatic primary alcohols via the borrowing hydrogen (BH) approach for the first time. A set of new Pd(II) ONO pincer complexes was synthesized and characterised by elemental analysis and spectral techniques (FT-IR, NMR and HRMS). The solid-state molecular structure of one the complexes was corroborated by X-ray crystallography. A range of α-alkylated ketone derivatives (25 examples) was obtained in excellent yields up to 95% through sequential dehydrogenative coupling of secondary and primary alcohols with 0.5 mol% catalyst loading with a substoichiometric amount of the base. Control experiment studies were carried out for the coupling reactions which revealed that the reaction involves an aldehyde, a ketone and chalcone intermediates, and eventually established the borrowing hydrogen strategy. Gratifyingly, this protocol is simple and atom economical, with water/hydrogen as byproducts. In addition, large-scale synthesis also demonstrated the synthetic usefulness of the present protocol.

Abstract
Although the Heck reactions of alkene partners with various electrophiles have achieved great success, the variant focused on carbon═heteroatom counterparts still remains elusive. Herein, we report a Pd(0)-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular hydrazone-type Heck reaction of N-[(Z)-3-iodoallyl]-aminoacetaldehyde and hydrazine hydrate (NH2NH2-H2O), wherein the required hydrazone is in situ generated via an acid-promoted condensation. A key strategic advantage of this Heck paradigm is that the resultant Heck product allylic diazene rapidly undergoes stereospecific denitrogenative [1,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement, eventually furnishing a domino sequence toward 3-substituted tetrahydropyridine (THP) with high enantioselectivity. The substrate-induced diastereoselective version has also been realized, exclusively giving cis-2,5-disubstituted THPs. The utility of this sequence is demonstrated by the formal synthesis of multiple valuable bioactive targets, including 3-ethylindoloquinolizine, preclamol, and niraparib.
