Abstract
We report two bridging-diazene diiron complexes [Cp*Fe(8-quinolinethiolate)]2(μ-N2H2) (1-N2H2) and [Cp*Fe(1,2-Cy2PC6H4S)]2(μ-N2H2) (2-N2H2), synthesized by the reaction of hydrazine with the corresponding thiolate-based iron half-sandwich complex, [Cp*Fe(8-quinolinethiolate)]2 (1) and Cp*Fe(1,2-Cy2PC6H4S) (2). Crystallographic analysis reveals that the thiolate sites in 1-N2H2 and 2-N2H2 can engage in N-H···S hydrogen bonding with the diazene protons. 1-N2H2 is thermally stable in both solid and solution states, allowing for one-electron oxidation to afford a cationic diazene radical complex [1-N2H2]+ at room temperature. In contrast, 2-N2H2 tends to undergo N2H2/N2 transformation, leading to the formation of a Fe(III)-H species by the loss of N2. In addition to stabilizing HN=NH species through the hydrogen bonding, the thiolate-based ligands also seem to facilitate proton-coupled electron transfer, thereby promoting N-H cleavage.

Abstract
Catalytic hydroboration and hydrosilylation have emerged as promising strategies for the reduction of unsaturated hydrocarbons and carbonyl compounds, as well as for the dearomatization of N-heteroarenes. Various catalysts have been employed in these processes to achieve the formation of reduced products via distinct reaction pathways and intermediates. Among these intermediates, N-silyl enamines and N-boryl enamines, which are derived from hydrosilylation and hydroboration, are commonly underestimated in this reduction process. Because these versatile intermediates have recently been utilized in situ as nucleophilic reagents or dipolarophiles for the synthesis of diverse molecules, an expeditious review of the synthesis and utilization of N-silyl and N-boryl enamines is crucial. In this review, we comprehensively discuss a wide range of hydrosilylation and hydroboration catalysts used for the synthesis of N-silyl and N-boryl enamines. These catalysts include main-group metals (e.g., Mg and Zn), transition metals (e.g., Rh, Ru, and Ir), earth-abundant metals (e.g., Fe, Co, and Ni), and non-metal catalysts (including P, B, and organocatalysts). Furthermore, we highlight recent research efforts that have leveraged these versatile intermediates for the synthesis of intriguing molecules, offering insights into future directions for these invaluable building blocks.

Abstract
Cobalt(ii) complexes were prepared from a modular phosphinopyridonate platform and applied to the hydroboration of pyridines. The synthetically useful, yet challenging, double hydroboration toward tetrahydropyridine derivatives was successfully performed with high activity and regiocontrol. This new method enabled the direct synthesis of N-heterocyclic allylic boronates from commercial pyridines and pinacolborane (HBpin). One-pot acetylation afforded the bench-stable borylated N-acetyl tetrahydropyridines in good yields. The synthetic utility of this procedure was demonstrated by a gram-scale double hydroboration-acetylation sequence followed by chemical diversification. Mechanistic experiments indicated metal-ligand cooperativity involving ligand-centered C-H activation and the intermediacy of a cobalt(iii) hydride species.

Abstract
Dearomatization reactions have become fundamental chemical transformations in organic synthesis since they allow for the generation of three-dimensional complexity from two-dimensional precursors, bridging arene feedstocks with alicyclic structures. When those processes are applied to pyridines, quinolines, and isoquinolines, partially or fully saturated nitrogen heterocycles are formed, which are among the most significant structural components of pharmaceuticals and natural products. The inherent challenge of those transformations lies in the low reactivity of heteroaromatic substrates, which makes the dearomatization process thermodynamically unfavorable. Usually, connecting the dearomatization event to the irreversible formation of a strong C-C, C-H, or C-heteroatom bond compensates the energy required to disrupt the aromaticity. This aromaticity breakup normally results in a 1,2- or 1,4-functionalization of the heterocycle. Moreover, the combination of these dearomatization processes with subsequent transformations in tandem or stepwise protocols allows for multiple heterocycle functionalizations, giving access to complex molecular skeletons. The aim of this review, which covers the period from 2016 to 2022, is to update the state of the art of nucleophilic dearomatizations of pyridines, quinolines, and isoquinolines, showing the extraordinary ability of the dearomative methodology in organic synthesis and indicating their limitations and future trends.

Abstract
Exploration of molybdenum complexes as homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts has garnered significant attention, but hydrogenation of unactivated olefins under mild conditions are scarce. Here, we report the synthesis of a molybdenum complex, [Cp*Mo(Ph2PC6H4S-CH = CH2)(Py)]+ (2), which exhibits intriguing reactivity toward C2H2 and H2 under ambient pressure. This vinylthioether complex showcases efficient catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of various aromatic and aliphatic alkenes, demonstrating a broad substrate scope without the need for any additives. The catalytic pathway involves an uncommon oxidative addition of H2 to the cationic Mo(II) center, resulting in a Mo(IV) dihydride intermediate. Moreover, complex 2 also shows catalytic activity toward C2H2, leading to the production of polyacetylene and the extension of the vinylthioether ligand into a pendant triene chain.

Abstract
Exploring bidirectional CO2/HCO2- catalysis holds significant potential in constructing integrated (photo)electrochemical formate fuel cells for energy storage and applications. Herein, we report selective CO2/HCO2- electrochemical interconversion by exploiting the flexible coordination modes and rich redox properties of a versatile iron-thiolate platform, Cp*Fe(II)L (L = 1,2-Ph2PC6H4S-). Upon oxidation, this iron complex undergoes formate binding to generate a diferric formate complex, [(L-)2Fe(III)(μ-HCO2)Fe(III)]+, which exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic performance for the HCO2--to-CO2 transformation with a maximum turnover frequency (TOFmax) ∼103 s-1 and a Faraday efficiency (FE) ∼92(±4)%. Conversely, this iron system also allows for reduction at -1.85 V (vs Fc+/0) and exhibits an impressive FE ∼93 (±3)% for the CO2-to-HCO2- conversion. Mechanism studies revealed that the HCO2--to-CO2 electrocatalysis passes through dicationic [(L2)-•Fe(III)(μ-HCO2)Fe(III)]2+ generated by unconventional oxidation of the diferric formate species taking place at ligand L, while the CO2-to-HCO2- reduction involves a critical intermediate of [Fe(II)-H]- that was independently synthesized and structurally characterized.

Abstract
Tautomerization of C2H2 at half-sandwich compound Cp*Fe(1,2-Cy2PC6H4S) exclusively produces an iron ethenylidene, Cp*Fe(=C=CH2)(1,2-Cy2PC6H4S) (2). Protonation of the ethenylidene causes nucleophilic attack of the Cα by sulfur, affording a sulfur-tethered carbene complex, [Cp*Fe=C(CH3)SC6H4PCy2]+ (3+). This Fischer-type carbene complex undergoes an unusual isomerization by migrating a hydrogen atom from the β-CH3 group to the α-C, leading to the formation of an olefin complex [Cp*Fe(η4-CH=CH2SC6H4PCy2]+ (4+). Compound 2 also displays diverse redox reactivities. It transforms to a neutral acetylide ferric complex (5) when reacting with free radical scavengers and to a cationic vinyl complex [Cp*Fe(η3-C(=CH2)SC6H4PCy2]+ (6+) upon 1e- oxidation. The interconversion between the vinyl and acetylide complexes can be realized through protonation/deprotonation reactions.

Abstract
ConspectusHomogeneous catalysis is at the forefront of global efforts to innovate the synthesis of fine chemicals and achieve carbon-neutrality in energy applications. For decades, the push toward sustainable catalysis has focused on the development of first-row transition metal catalysts to supplant widespread use of precious metals. Metal-ligand cooperativity is an effective strategy to yield high-performing first-row metal molecular catalysts. Despite remarkable progress, state of the art catalysts often employ phosphorus-based ligands which are air-sensitive, potentially toxic, and on occasion offset the cost-savings of the metal. Thus, the development of simple and economical ligands composed of biomimetic donors should be a key focus that cannot be overlooked in the pursuit of sustainable catalyst candidates. This is an Account of our group's efforts to develop first-row transition metal complexes which use [SNS]-pincer ligands for bifunctional catalysis. We have synthesized two potentially tridentate ligands, one bearing an amido and two thioether donors [(SMeNSMe), L1] and one which includes thiolate, imine, and thioether donors [(SNSMe), L2], and used them as platforms upon which to explore the reaction pathways of first-row metals. The [SNS] ligand, L1, leads to formation of high-spin paramagnetic metal complexes of the type M(L1)2 in which the 6-membered ring thioether donor is hemilabile (M = Mn, Fe, Co). This allows Mn(L1)2 to function as a carbonyl hydroboration catalyst that operates by a novel hydride-free, inner-sphere reaction pathway. Exploring the reactivity of L2 with Fe and Ni revealed unique coordination chemistry and a variety of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetranuclear complexes enabled by bridging thiolates. Further studies showed L2 undergoes selective Caryl-S bond cleavage upon coordination to a metal with electron-rich phosphine donors, yielding a new (CNS)2- pincer ligand. The analogous reaction with L1 afforded a new (CNSMe)- pincer ligand via both Caryl-S and benzylic C-H bond cleavage. In an attempt to prepare Fe(L2)2, we obtained instead an Fe(N2S3) complex in which imine C-C bond formation affords a potentially hexadentate redox-active ligand. The Fe(N2S3) complex is a selective catalyst for hydroboration of aldehydes and appears to operate through a complicated mechanism. In contrast, a mechanistic study of Mn(L2)(CO)3-photocatalyzed dihydroboration of nitriles indicated that both the flexibility of the κ3-SNSMe ligand (fac- vs mer-coordination) and ability of Mn to undergo a spin-state change are required to access low energy barriers for this transformation. To effectively compare the reactivity of the thiolate vs amido donor, we prepared two Cu complexes, Cu(L1)(IPr) and Cu(L2)(IPr) [IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene], showing that, while both served as carbonyl hydroboration catalysts, only the amido complex was an effective catalyst for carbonyl hydrosilylation. In addition, complexes of the type Zn(L1)2, Zn(L2)2, and Zn(L1)(L2), were also effective for catalytic carbonyl hydroboration. While Zn(L1)(L2) was most active, catalyst speciation studies showed that each undergoes bifunctional catalyst activation to form a Zn bis(alkoxide) catalyst. Overall, our observations using [SNS] ligands with first-row transition metals show how the absence of traditional phosphine donors leads to different fundamental reactivity. Furthermore, this Account demonstrates the gap of knowledge which exists in understanding the reactivity of sulfur-based ligands to promote more widespread adoption of sustainable ligands.

Abstract
Chemists tend to use transition metal hydride complexes rather than thiolate complexes to catalyse chemical transformations because the hydride complexes possess diverse catalytic reactivity, although most of them are air/moisture-sensitive and difficult to prepare. By comparing the catalytic performances of pincer ligated group 10 metal thiolate and hydride complexes in catalysing the hydroboration and hydrosilylation of C=O and C=N bonds, we demonstrate in this review that transition metal thiolate complexes are much better catalysts than the corresponding hydride complexes in catalysing this type of reactions. Many hydroboration and hydrosilylation reactions catalysed by pincer ligated group 10 metal hydride complexes can also be catalysed by the corresponding thiolate complexes and the thiolate systems are far more active. Therefore, the applications of transition metal thiolate complexes in the catalytic hydroboration and hydrosilylation of unsaturated carbon-heteroatom bonds deserve special attention in future work.

Abstract
Regioselective hydroboration of pyridines to 1,2-dihydropyridines remains a significant challenge for the synthesis of valuable nitrogenous bioactive molecules. Herein, we report a base free ligand-controlled cobalt-catalyzed 1,2-hydroboration of pyridines and quinolines with very low catalyst loading under neat reaction conditions. The choice of sterically demanding N-heterocyclic ligands led to the 1,2-regioselectivity and the scope was demonstrated by the N-heterocycles having a variety of functional groups. The preliminary mechanistic studies corroborate that the two ligands followed a distinct catalytic cycle with Co(I) as an active species.

Abstract
The conjugated bis-guanidinate-supported zinc hydride [{LZnH}2; L = {(ArHN) (ArN)-C═N-C═(NAr) (NHAr); Ar = 2,6-Et2-C6H3}] (I)-catalyzed highly demanding exclusive 1,2-regioselective hydroboration and hydrosilylation of N-heteroarenes is demonstrated with excellent yields. This protocol is compatible with many pyridines and N-heteroarene derivatives, including electron-donating and -withdrawing substituents. Catalytic intermediates, such as [(LZnH) (4-methylpyridine)] IIA, [(L'ZnH) (4-methylpyridine) IIA', where L' = CH{(CMe) (2,6-Et2C6H3N)}2)], LZn(1,2-DhiQ) (isoquinoline) III, [L'Zn(1,2-DhiQ) (isoquinoline)] III', and LZn(1,2-(3-MeDHQ)) (3-methylquinoline) V, were isolated and thoroughly characterized by NMR, HRMS, and IR analyses. Furthermore, X-ray single-crystal diffraction studies confirmed the molecular structures of compounds IIA', III, and III'. The NMR data proved that the intermediate III or III' reacted with HBpin and gave a selective 1,2-addition hydroborated product. Stoichiometric experiments suggest that V and III independently reacted with silane, yielding selective 1,2-addition of mono- and bis-hydrosilylated products, respectively. Based on the isolation of intermediates and a series of stoichiometric experiments, plausible catalytic cycles were established. Furthermore, the intermolecular chemoselective hydroboration reaction over other reducible functionalities was studied.

Abstract
The role of S-donors in ligand-assisted catalysis using first-row metals has not been broadly investigated. Herein is described a combined experimental and computational mechanistic study of the dihydroboration of nitriles with pinacolborane (HBpin) catalyzed by the Mn(i) complex, Mn(κ3-SMeNS)(CO)3, that features thioether, imine, and thiolate donors. Mechanistic studies revealed that catalysis requires the presence of UV light to enter and remain in the catalytic cycle and evidence is presented for loss of two CO ligands. Stoichiometric reactions showed that HBpin reduces the imine N[double bond, length as m-dash]C of the ligand backbone in the absence of nitrile, forming an inactive off-cycle by-product. DFT calculations showed that the bifunctional thiolate donor, coordinative flexibility of the SMeNS ligand, and access to an open-shell intermediate are all crucuial to accessing low-energy intermediates during catalysis.

Abstract
Inspired by OxdA that operates biocatalytic aldoxime dehydration, we have developed an efficient iron catalyst, Cp*Fe(1,2-Cy2PC6H4O) (1), which rapidly converts various aliphatic and aromatic aldoximes to nitriles with release of H2O at room temperature. The catalysis involves redox activation of the N-O bond by a 1e- transfer from the iron catalyst to the oxime. Such redox-mediated N-O cleavage was demonstrated by the isolation of a ferrous iminato intermediate from the reaction of the ketoxime substrate. This iron-catalyzed acceptorless dehydration approach represents a general method for the preparation of nitriles, and it also delivers salicylonitriles by catalyzing the Kemp elimination reaction.

Abstract
Using the potentially tridentate N,N'-bis(N-heterocyclic silylene)pyridine [SiNSi] pincer-type ligand, 2,6-N,N'-diethyl-bis[N,N'-di-tert-butyl(phenylamidinato)silylene] diaminopyridine, led to the first isolable bis(silylene)pyridine-stabilized manganese(0) complex, {κ3-[SiNSi]Mn(dmpe)} 4 (dmpe = (Me2P)2C2H4), which represents an isolobal 17 VE analogue of the elusive Mn(CO)5 radical. The compound is accessible through the reductive dehalogenation of the corresponding dihalido (SiNSi)Mn(ii) complexes 1 (Cl) and 2 (Br) with potassium graphite. Exposing 4 towards the stronger π-acceptor ligands CO and 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide afforded the related Mn(0) complexes κ2-[SiNSi]Mn(CO)3 (5) and κ3-[SiNSi]Mn(CNXylyl)2(κ1-dmpe) (6), respectively. Remarkably, the stabilization of Mn(0) in the coordination sphere of the [SiNSi] ligand favors the d7 low-spin electronic configuration, as suggested by EPR spectroscopy, SQUID measurements and DFT calculations. The suitability of 4 acting as a superior pre-catalyst in regioselective hydroboration of quinolines has also been demonstrated.

Abstract
Iron-hydride and iron-boryl complexes supported by a pyrrole-based pincer ligand, tBuPNP (PNP = anion of 2,5-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)pyrrole), were employed for a detailed mechanistic study on the hydroboration of internal alkynes. Several novel complexes were isolated and fully characterized, including iron-vinyl and iron-boryl species, which represent likely intermediates in the catalytic hydroboration pathway. In addition, the products of alkyne insertion into the Fe-B bond have been isolated and structurally characterized. Mechanistic studies of the hydroboration reaction favor a pathway involving an active iron-hydride species, [FeH(tBuPNP)], which readily inserts alkyne and undergoes subsequent reaction with hydroborane to generate product. The iron-boryl species, [Fe(BR2)(tBuPNP)] (R2 = pin or cat), was found to be chemically competent, although its use in catalysis entailed an induction period whereby the iron-hydride species was generated. Stoichiometric reactions and kinetic experiments were performed to paint a fuller picture of the mechanism of alkyne hydroboration, including pathways for catalyst deactivation and the influence of substrate bulk on catalytic efficacy.

Abstract
Sulfated zirconium oxide (SZO) capped with silylium-like ions reacts with (cod)Ir(py)Cl (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; py = pyridine) to form [Ir(cod)py][SZO] (1) and Me3SiCl. 1 can also be formed in reactions of phosphonium functionalized SZO and [Ir(cod)(OSi(OtBu)3]2, which forms [Ir(cod)P(tBu)2Ph][SZO] (2), followed by reaction with pyridine to form 1. FTIR and 15N{1H} MAS NMR spectroscopy are consistent with coordination of pyridine in 1 to an electrophilic iridium. 1 is moderately active in the dearomative hydroboration of pyridine. The primary product of this reaction is 1,2-dihydropyridine, which converts to the 1,4-dihydropyridine product at long reaction times. 1 catalyzes the dearomative hydroboration of a variety of substituted pyridines and is also reactive toward pyrazines and N-methylimidazole.

Abstract
A highly efficient and mild palladium-catalyzed hydroboration of unactivated internal alkynes in water is described. Both aryl- and alkyl-substituted alkynes proceeded smoothly within the reaction time to afford the desired vinylboronates in moderate to high yields. Bis (pinacolato) diboron was used to afford α- and β-hydroborated products in the presence of HOAc. These reactions showed high reactivities and tolerance, thus providing a promising method for the synthesis of alkenyl boron compounds.

Abstract
The addition of a B-H bond to an unsaturated bond (polarized or unpolarized) is a powerful and atom-economic tool for the synthesis of organoboranes. In recent years, s-block organometallics have appeared as alternative catalysts to transition-metal complexes, which traditionally catalyze the hydroboration of unsaturated bonds. Because of the recent and rapid development in the field of hydroboration of unsaturated bonds catalyzed by alkali (Li, Na, K) and alkaline earth (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) metals, we provide a detailed and updated comprehensive review that covers the synthesis, reactivity, and application of s-block metal catalysts in the hydroboration of polarized as well as unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds. Moreover, we describe the main reaction mechanisms, providing valuable insight into the reactivity of the s-block metal catalysts. Finally, we compare these s-block metal complexes with other redox-neutral catalytic systems based on p-block metals including aluminum complexes and f-block metal complexes of lanthanides and early actinides. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive, authoritative, and critical assessment of the state of the art within this highly interesting research area.

Abstract
The regio- and chemoselective construction of indole bearing an all-carbon center at the C3-position, a versatile bioactive building block, by C(sp2)-C(sp3) formation with olefins has been achieved through utilization of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as the protonation reagent and solvent. The catalytic reactions are operationally simple and green compared with previous reports utilizing elaborated olefins and catalysts. This protocol allows for alkylation of a variety of substituted indoles with diverse of styrene type alkenes in excellent yields and with high selectivity. Application of this protocol to the synthesis of drug was pursued and with an improved yield in contrast to previous art. Catalytic kinetics and deuterium-labeling experiments suggest that the rate-determining step involves the protonation of olefin by HFIP to generate carbocation, followed by electrophilic addition to indole derivative.

Abstract
Organoboron reagents represent a unique class of compounds because of their utility in modern synthetic organic chemistry, often affording unprecedented reactivity. The transformation of the carbon-boron bond into a carbon-X (X = C, N, and O) bond in a stereocontrolled fashion has become invaluable in medicinal chemistry, agrochemistry, and natural products chemistry as well as materials science. Over the past decade, first-row d-block transition metals have become increasingly widely used as catalysts for the formation of a carbon-boron bond, a transformation traditionally catalyzed by expensive precious metals. This recent focus on alternative transition metals has enabled growth in fundamental methods in organoboron chemistry. This review surveys the current state-of-the-art in the use of first-row d-block element-based catalysts for the formation of carbon-boron bonds.

Abstract
The N-heterocyclic germylenes and stannylenes LSi(NAr)2EX (L = PhC(NtBu)2, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3; E = Ge, Sn; X = Cl, CF3SO3, BPh4) supported by the bulky silaamidinate ligand [LSi(NAr)2]- have been synthesized and fully characterized. The germylene triflate LSi(NAr)2GeOTf (3b) and dimeric borate [LSi(NAr)2Ge]2ClBPh4 (3a) enabled highly regio- and chemoselective catalytic hydroboration of pyridines and may represent the most active catalytic system for the transformation. DFT calculations disclosed that the cationic germylene [LSi(NAr)2Ge]+ with a low-lying LUMO energy initiated the catalytic process. In contrast, the analogous amidinate germylene triflates are almost inactive, indicating the silaamidinate ligand is essential for the stabilization of cationic species.

Abstract
Reductive transformations of easily available oxidized matter are at the heart of synthetic manipulation and chemical valorization. The applications of catalytic hydrofunctionalization benefit from the use of liquid reducing agents and operationally facile setups. Metal‐catalyzed hydroborations provide a highly prolific platform for reductive valorizations of stable C=X electrophiles. Here, we report an especially facile, broad‐scope reduction of various functions including carbonyls, carboxylates, pyridines, carbodiimides, and carbonates under very mild conditions with the inexpensive pre‐catalyst Mn(hmds)2. The reaction could be successfully applied to depolymerizations.

Abstract
Dearomatization is an effective method to transform readily available N-heterocycles into partially saturated motifs. Manipulation of dihydro-derivatives holds great potential and provides access to a variety of semi-saturated N-heterocyclic building blocks. However, current strategies are limited in scope and the use of sensitive reagents restricts the applicability in synthetic laboratories. Herein, we report the synthesis of a broad variety of N-substituted 1,4- and 1,2-dihydropyridines by very mild and selective reduction with amine borane for the first time.

Abstract
We report an iron system, Cp*Fe(1,2-R2PC6H4X), which controls the Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov hydrostannation of alkynes by tuning the ionic metal-heteroatom bonds (Fe-X) reactivity. The sequential addition of nBu3SnH to the iron-amido catalyst (1, X = HN-, R = Ph) affords a distannyl Fe(IV)-H species responsible for syn-addition of the Sn-H bond across the C≡C bond to produce branched α-vinylstannanes. Activation of the C(sp)-H bond of alkynes by an iron-aryloxide catalyst (2, X = O-, R = Cy) affords an iron(II) vinylidene intermediate, allowing for gem-addition of the Sn-H to the terminal-carbon producing β-vinylstannanes. These catalytic reactions exhibit excellent regioselectivity and broad functional group compatibility and enable the large-scale synthesis of diverse vinylstannanes. Many new reactions have been established based on such a synthetic Fe-X platform to demonstrate that the initial step of the catalysis is conveniently controlled by the activation of either the tin hydride or the alkyne substrate.

Abstract
Hydroboration of pyridine derivatives at room temperature with earth-abundant and biocompatible magnesium catalysts ligated by phosphinimino amides is developed. Fine turnover frequency (TOF) and distinguished 1,2-regioselectivity have been achieved. The exclusive chemoselective carbonyl hydroboration happens with competitive TOF. A HBpin assisted mechanism is deduced by the reaction rate law, activation parameters, and kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in combination with DFT calculations. To our knowledge, this is the first example of pyridine 1,2-dearomatization by Mg-based catalysts.

Abstract
Activation of dinitrogen plays an important role in daily anthropogenic life, and the processes by which this fixation occurs have been a longstanding and significant research focus within the community. One of the major fields of dinitrogen activation research is the use of multimetallic compounds to reduce and/or activate N2 into a more useful nitrogen-atom source, such as ammonia. Here we report a comprehensive review of multimetallic-dinitrogen complexes and their utility toward N2 activation, beginning with the d-block metals from Group 4 to Group 11, then extending to Group 13 (which is exclusively populated by B complexes), and finally the rare-earth and actinide species. The review considers all polynuclear metal aggregates containing two or more metal centers in which dinitrogen is coordinated or activated (i.e., partial or complete cleavage of the N2 triple bond in the observed product). Our survey includes complexes in which mononuclear N2 complexes are used as building blocks to generate homo- or heteromultimetallic dinitrogen species, which allow one to evaluate the potential of heterometallic species for dinitrogen activation. We highlight some of the common trends throughout the periodic table, such as the differences between coordination modes as it relates to N2 activation and potential functionalization and the effect of polarizing the bridging N2 ligand by employing different metal ions of differing Lewis acidities. By providing this comprehensive treatment of polynuclear metal dinitrogen species, this Review aims to outline the past and provide potential future directions for continued research in this area.

Abstract
Bis(phosphine) copper hydride complexes are uniquely able to catalyze direct dearomatization of unactivated pyridines with carbon nucleophiles, but the mechanistic basis for this result has been unclear. Here we show that, contrary to our initial hypotheses, the catalytic mechanism is monometallic and proceeds via dearomative rearrangement of the phenethylcopper nucleophile to a Cpara-metalated form prior to reaction at heterocycle C4. Our studies support an unexpected heterocycle-promoted pathway for this net 1,5-Cu-migration beginning with a doubly dearomative imidoyl-Cu-ene reaction. Kinetics, substituent effects, computational modeling, and spectroscopic studies support the involvement of this unusual process. In this pathway, the CuL2 fragment subsequently mediates a stepwise Cope rearrangement of the doubly dearomatized intermediate to the give the C4-functionalized 1,4-dihydropyridine, lowering a second barrier that would otherwise prohibit efficient asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
Herein, we developed a simple iron-catalyzed system for the α-alkenylation of ketones using primary alcohols. Such acceptor-less dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) of alcohols resulted in the synthesis of a series of important α,β-unsaturated functionalized ketones, having aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, nitro, nitrile and trifluoro-methyl, as well as halogen moieties, with excellent yields and selectivity. Initial mechanistic studies, including deuterium labeling experiments, determination of rate and order of the reaction, and quantitative determination of H2 gas, were performed. The overall transformations produce water and dihydrogen as byproducts.

Abstract
Catalytic hydrogenation or transfer hydrogenation of quinolines was thought to be a direct strategy to access dihydroquinolines. However, the challenge is to control the chemoselectivity and regioselectivity. Here we report an efficient partial transfer hydrogenation system operated by a cobalt-amido cooperative catalyst, which converts quinolines to 1,2-dihydroquinolines by the reaction with H3N·BH3 at room temperature. This methodology enables the large scale synthesis of many 1,2-dihydroquinolines with a broad range of functional groups. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the reduction of quinoline is controlled precisely by cobalt-amido cooperation to operate dihydrogen transfer from H3N·BH3 to the N=C bond of the substrates.

Abstract
The first inverse hydroboration of pyridine with a diboron(4) compound and a proton source has been realized under simple basic and catalyst-free conditions. This process consists of a formal boryl anion addition to pyridine, which produces an N-boryl pyridyl anion complex, and the subsequent protonation of the anion complex. This process enables a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of multi-substituted N-H 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) derivatives that are difficult to prepare using established methods. Furthermore, this method allows for facile preparation of 4-deuterated 1,4-DHPs from an easily accessible deuterium ion source. This inverse hydroboration reaction represents a new mode for pyridine functionalization.
