The catalytic acceptorless dehydrogenation (CAD) is an attractive synthetic route to unsaturated compounds because of its high atomic efficiency. Here we report electrochemical acceptorless dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles to obtain quinoline or indole derivatives using metal-organic layer (MOL) catalyst. MOL is the two-dimensional version of metal-organic frameworks (MOF), and it can be constructed on conductive multi-walled carbon nanotubes via facile solvothermal synthesis to overcome the conductivity constraint for MOFs in electrocatalysis. TEMPO-OPO was incorporated into the system through a ligand exchange with capping formate on the MOL surface to serve as the active catalytic centers. The hybrid catalyst is efficient in the organic conversion and can be readily recycled and reused.

Herein, we present a sustainable and atom-economical approach for the synthesis of quinazolinones via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) using earth-abundant Co-salt, (CoCl) as the catalyst under neat condition. This method is distinguished by its green credentials, like, solvent-free, microwave-assisted heating, cost-effective, use of renewable alcohols, and generating only H and water as byproducts. Remarkably, this protocol achieves quinazolinone synthesis without the need for external ligands, oxidants, or additional additives.

The advancement of an effective hydrogen liberation technology from liquid organic hydrogen carriers, particularly cycloalkanes such as cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane, holds significance in realizing a hydrogen-centric society. However, the attainment of homogeneous catalytic acceptorless dehydrogenation characterized by elevated selectivity for thorough aromatization under mild conditions remains unrealized. In this study, a catalyst system, facilitated by a double hydrogen atom transfer processes, has been devised for the catalytic acceptorless dehydrogenation of inert cycloalkanes at ambient temperature under visible light irradiation.

Compounds containing quaternary stereocentres are a valuable motif in biologically active compounds. Herein we present our strategy to utilise the hydrogen borrowing manifold to access α-quaternary ketones via a tandem acceptorless dehydrogenation-cyclisation cascade. This new application of the methodology results in the formation of five- and six-membered carbocycles with a high degree of diastereoselectivity.

We report the first example of photocatalytic acceptorless dehydrogenation using cationic Eosin Y as a bifunctional photocatalyst, without metal catalysts or HAT reagents. Under Bayesian optimized conditions, a wide range of flavones were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields, many of which were reported with biological activities. Mechanistic studies suggest that flavones likely form through two HAT processes, with hydrogen release occurring photoredox.

A streamlined strategy for the one-pot synthesis of isoxazolone analogues has been developed through an acceptorless dehydrogenative annulation (ADA) pathway by employing new Ru(II) hydride complexes as effective catalysts. New Ru(II) complexes () tailored with N̂O chelating carbazolone benzhydrazone ligands were synthesized and their formation was confirmed using analytical and spectral techniques including FT-IR and NMR. The structural configuration of the complexes featuring an octahedral geometry around the Ru(II) ion was precisely determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
