Article Synopsis
- A novel single-atom catalyst featuring inert Zn-N motifs from ZIF-8 is effective in activating alcohols for various organic transformations.
- The catalyst facilitates processes such as C-alkylation of nitriles, ketones, and amines, as well as transfer hydrogenation, demonstrating broad versatility.
- Specifically, the α-alkylation of nitriles involves dehydrogenation of alcohols to aldehydes and subsequent reactions, with DFT calculations showing that the Zn-N sites enhance this catalyst's performance.
