Abstract
Hydrogen obtained from renewable sources such as water and alcohols is regarded as an efficient clean-burning alternative to non-renewable fuels. The use of the so-called bio-H2 regardless of its colour will be a significant step towards achieving global net-zero carbon goals. Challenges still persist however with conventional H2 storage, which include low-storage density and high cost of transportation apart from safety concerns. Global efforts have thus focussed on liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), which have shown excellent potential for H2 storage while allowing safer large-scale transformation and easy on-site H2 generation. While water could be considered as the most convenient liquid inorganic hydrogen carrier (LIHC) on a long-term basis, the utilization of alcohols as LOHCs to generate on-demand H2 has tasted instant success. This has helped to draw a road-map of futuristic H2 storage and transportation. The current review brings to the fore the state-of-the-art developments in hydrogen generation from readily available, feed-agnostic bio-alcohols as LOHCs using molecular transition-metal catalysts.

Abstract
Hydrogen is considered as a potential alternative and sustainable energy carrier, but its safe storage and transportation are still challenging due to its low volumetric energy density. Notably, C1-based substrates, methanol and formaldehyde, containing high hydrogen contents of 12.5 wt% and 6.7 wt%, respectively, can release hydrogen on demand in the presence of a suitable catalyst. Advantageously, both methanol and aqueous formaldehyde are liquid at room temperature, and hence can be stored and transported considerably more safely than hydrogen gas. Moreover, these C1-based substrates can be produced from biomass waste and can also be regenerated from CO2, a greenhouse gas. In this review, the recent progress in hydrogen production from methanol and formaldehyde over noble to non-noble metal complex-based molecular transition metal catalysts is extensively reviewed. This review also focuses on the critical role of the structure-activity relationship of the catalyst in the dehydrogenation pathway.

Abstract
Under the background of carbon neutrality, the direct conversion of greenhouse CO2 to high value added fuels and chemicals is becoming an important and promising technology. Among them, the generation of liquid C1 products (formic acid and methanol) has made great progress; nevertheless, it encounters the problem of how to use it efficiently to solve the overcapacity issue. In this review, we suggest that the catalytic transfer hydrogenation using formic acid and methanol as the hydrogen sources is a critical and potential route for the substitution for the fossil fuel-derived H2 to generate essential bulk and fine chemicals. We mainly focus on summarizing the recent progress of heterogeneous catalysts in such reactions, including thermal- and photo-catalytic processes. Finally, we also propose some challenges and opportunities for this development.

Abstract
Unprecedented reactivity of a Grubbs catalyst has been disclosed in a reaction between vinyl azaarenes and alkenylnitriles under standard metathesis conditions. No metathesis was observed; only hydroalkylation products were obtained in high yields. The practical utility of this method has been demonstrated by the application of the products in useful transformations, e.g., the formation of cyclic iminoesters and highly challenging medium-sized carbocycles.

Abstract
The indium-catalyzed regiospecific coupling of substituted phenol derivatives and quaternary peroxyoxindoles for the synthesis of C2 or C4 benzoxazin-3-one-substituted phenols via skeletal rearrangement is described. This reaction is demonstrated with 17 examples with good yields and diverse aryl substituents. In contrast to the indium-catalyzed reaction, the Cu(OTf)2-catalyzed reaction of the phenol with quaternary peroxyoxindoles afforded C2 or C4 2-oxindole-substituted phenol derivatives. This diverse catalytic reaction generated various biologically important phenol-substituted 2-oxindole derivatives directly without any skeleton rearrangement and was demonstrated with 19 examples in high yield. The regiospecificity and the reaction pathways were explained with the support of density functional theory (DFT).
