Article Abstract
Although commonly applied in various reactions, Shvo's catalyst has not been modified towards solubility in highly polar solvents until now. Here, we report the straightforward synthesis of a disulfonate derivative of the complex, which allows to (transfer) (de-)hydrogenate aldehydes and ketones in aqueous solutions. A proof of principle for the recycling of the catalyst is also provided.

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely used in transition metal-catalyzed processes, but the precise behavior of ILs and catalysts in these reactions is unknown. Herein, the role of ILs and the interaction pattern between Shvo's catalyst and ILs have been revealed with characterization by H NMR and crystallography based on the catalytic hydrogenation of CO. ILs promote the dissociation of Shvo's catalyst and enhance the rate of production of CO.

Ru-Bis(pyridyl)borate complex (CAT) is an efficient catalyst for ammonia borane (AB) dehydrogenation. Although the mechanistic pathway of this catalyst has been theoretically investigated previously, the gap between the experimental findings and the computational results could not be bridged thus far. In our study, using density functional theory calculations, we elucidate the mechanism of AB dehydrogenation of CAT at a variable degree of ligand hydrogenation.

An active and selective dual catalytic system to promote domino hydroformylation-reduction reactions is described. Apart from terminal, di- and trisubstituted olefins, for the first time the less active internal C-C double bond of tetrasubstituted alkenes can also be utilized. As an example, 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene is converted into the corresponding n-alcohol with high yield (90 %) as well as regio- and chemoselectivity (>97 %).
