Abstract
A series of acylhydrazone-based N,N-chelate half-sandwich iridium complexes have been synthesized through a facile route in good yields. The dehydrogenation of a series of aromatic and aliphatic primary alcohols to corresponding carboxylic acids has been accomplished catalyzed by the prepared air stable iridium complexes under mild reaction conditions. Carboxylic acids were obtained in high yields under open flask condition with broad substrates and good tolerance to sensitive functional groups. Such a half-sandwich iridium catalyst system exhibited high catalytic activity and stability, and a high TOF of 316.7 h-1 could be achieved with a catalyst loading as low as 0.05 mol %. Furthermore, the sustainable catalyst could be reused at least five times without obviously losing its activity, highlighting its potential application in industry. Molecular structure of iridium complex 1 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis.

Abstract
In the presence of a rhodium catalyst, unprotected peptide dithiols possessing two cysteine residues are efficiently converted to their corresponding cyclic methylene dithioacetals in a mixed solvent of methanol and water (4:1) under an oxygen atmosphere (1 atm). The slow formation of formaldehyde inhibits side reactions by maintaining its concentration at a low level, which is a key feature of this reaction. This method can be applied to peptide dithiols containing amino acids such as Gly, Ala, Ser, Lys, Met, Phe, Tyr, and His and provides cyclic methylene dithioacetals without being affected by other functional groups. Primary alcohols, such as ethanol and isopropanol, can also be employed. Oxytocin can be cyclized to provide a cyclic methylene dithioacetal.

Abstract
Depending on the chelate ring present, cyclometalated complexes are useful catalysts for various reactions. The reactivity of IrIII and RhIII NHC complexes bearing aliphatic or aromatic N,N'-substituents and thus featuring various metalation sites toward cyclometalation has been investigated. The RhIII complex bearing an N-mesityl-N'-benzyl-NHC does not participate in any cyclometalation, while the IrIII complex reacts under metalation of an ortho-methyl group of the Mes substituent to give complex [3] with a six-membered chelate ring. The RhIII and IrIII complexes bearing an N-o-tolyl,N-benzyl-NHC undergo sp2-CH activation to yield the cyclometalated complexes [4] and [5] featuring a five-membered CNHC∧C chelate ring. Density functional theory (DFT) studies corroborated the experimental findings.

Abstract
An unexpected reversal in catalytic activity for acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling compared to acceptorless alcohol dehydrogenation has been observed using a series of cationic Ru(II)-CNC pincer complexes with different ancillary ligands. In continuation of our study of cationic Ru(II)-CNC pincer complexes 1a-6a, new complexes with bulky N-wingtips [Ru(CNCiPr)(CO)(PPh3)Br]PF6 (1b), [Ru(CNCCy)(CO)(PPh3)Cl]PF6 (1c), [Ru(CNCCy)(CO)(PPh3)H]PF6 (2c), [Ru(CNCiPr)(PPh3)2Cl]PF6 (3b), [Ru(CNCCy)(PPh3)2Cl]PF6 (3c), [Ru(CNCiPr)(PPh3)2H]PF6 (4b), [Ru(CNCCy)(PPh3)2H]PF6 (4c), [Ru(CNCiPr)(DMSO)2Cl]PF6 (6b), and [Ru(CNCCy)(DMSO)2Cl]PF6 (6c) [CNCR = 2,6-bis(1-alkylimidazol-2-ylidene)-pyridine] have been synthesized and the catalytic activities of the new complexes have been compared with their N-methyl analogues for transfer hydrogenation of cyclohexanone and acceptorless dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohol. Furthermore, all complexes have been utilized as catalysts in the dehydrogenative coupling reaction of benzyl alcohol with amines. While the catalytic activities of the new complexes for transfer hydrogenation and acceptorless alcohol dehydrogenation were found to be in line with the previously observed trend based on the ancillary ligands (CO > COD > DMSO > PPh3), for the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling reaction, complexes containing PPh3 and DMSO ligands performed better compared to complexes containing CO and COD ligands. Based on NMR and mass investigation of catalytic reactions, a plausible mechanism has been suggested to explain the difference in catalytic activity and its reversal during the dehydrogenative coupling reaction. Furthermore, the substrate scope for the dehydrogenative coupling reaction of benzyl alcohol with a wide range of amines has been explored, including synthesizing some pharmaceutically important imines. All new complexes have been characterized by various spectroscopic techniques, and the structures of 4b and 6b have been confirmed by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique.

Abstract
An acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids/carboxylates, esters, and Guerbet alcohols (via both homo- and cross-β-alkylation of the alcohols) in the presence of an N-heterocyclic carbene iridium(I) catalyst was developed under aerobic conditions. The product selectivity can be easily tuned among the products with a single catalyst through simple modification of the reaction conditions, such as the catalyst and base amounts, the choice of base, and the reaction temperature.

Abstract
In this work, we have developed a simple NiO-supported Pd nanocatalyst (Pd@NiO) for oxidant-free dehydrogenative oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids along with hydrogen gas as a byproduct. The catalyst has been characterized by techniques like XRD, HRTEM, SEM-EDX, XPS and ICP-AES. The nanostructured Pd@NiO material showed excellent dehydrogenative oxidation activity and outperformed the activity of free NiO or Pd nanoparticles supported on silica/carbon as a catalyst, which could be attributed to synergistic effect of Pd and NiO. A diverse range of aromatic and aliphatic primary alcohols could be efficiently converted to their corresponding carboxylates in high yields with a catalyst loading as low as 0.08 mol%. Notably, highly challenging biomass derived heterocyclic alcohols such as furfuryl alcohol and piperonyl alcohol can also be efficiently converted to their corresponding acids. Moreover, our catalyst can convert benzyl alcohol to benzoic acid on a gram scale with 89% yield. Interestingly, the H2 gas liberated in the reaction can also be used as a substrate for the hydrogenation of 3a to 4a in 65% yield. The nanostructured catalyst is highly reusable and no significant decrease in activity was observed after six reaction cycles. A kinetic study revealed that the reaction followed first-order kinetics with a rate constant of k = 1.47 × 10-4 s-1, under optimized conditions. The extent of reactivity of different functionalities towards dehydrogenation was also investigated using a Hammett plot showing good linearity.

Abstract
In the past few decades, chemistry of cyclometalated species has gained momentum with increased applications in several areas of scientific developments. Cyclometalation reactions result in the formation of stable metallacycles through the generation of metal-carbon covalent bonds by activating the unreactive Csp2 -H or Csp3 -H bonds. The extra stability gained by the formation of metallacycles enhances their applicability scopes especially in the area of homogeneous catalysis. In the recent research development in this area, NHC ligands (strong σ-donor and generally, weak π-acceptor) have been found to be one of the most suitable candidates for the intramolecular C-H activation process which leads to the cyclometalated species. The growth in the area of cyclometalation chemistry that started in the late 20th century is still continuing and in the past few decades, various examples of NHC derived transition metal-based cyclometalated complexes came into the picture. As covering all the reported literatures in this area (includes mainly late transition metals) will exceed the limits of minireview, we restricted ourselves to the recent (2015 - May 2021) examples of the most common Ru-, Rh-, and Ir-based CNHC ^C cyclometalated complexes and their applications in various homogeneous catalytic conversions such as transfer hydrogenation, amidation, oxidation of alcohols, annulations, and so forth.

Abstract
In this review, we describe the synthesis and use in hydrogen transfer reactions of ruthenacycles and iridacycles. The review limits itself to metallacycles where a ligand is bound in bidentate fashion to either ruthenium or iridium via a carbon–metal sigma bond, as well as a dative bond from a heteroatom or an N-heterocyclic carbene. Pincer complexes fall outside the scope. Described are applications in (asymmetric) transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes, ketones, and imines, as well as reductive aminations. Oxidation reactions, i.e., classical Oppenauer oxidation, which is the reverse of transfer hydrogenation, as well as dehydrogenations and oxidations with oxygen, are described. Racemizations of alcohols and secondary amines are also catalyzed by ruthenacycles and iridacycles.
