Pena-Lopez M, Piehl P, Elangovan S, Neumann H, Beller M
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2016 Oct; 55(48):14967-14971. PMID: 27785889
A novel catalytic hydrogen-autotransfer protocol for the atom-efficient α-alkylation of ketones with readily available alcohols is presented. The use of manganese complexes bearing non-innocent PNP pincer ligands enabled the functionalization...

Elangovan S, Neumann J, Sortais J, Junge K, Darcel C, Beller M
Nat Commun . 2016 Oct; 7:12641. PMID: 27708259
Borrowing hydrogen (or hydrogen autotransfer) reactions represent straightforward and sustainable C-N bond-forming processes. In general, precious metal-based catalysts are employed for this effective transformation. In recent years, the use of...

Elangovan S, Garbe M, Jiao H, Spannenberg A, Junge K, Beller M
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2016 Oct; 55(49):15364-15368. PMID: 27690363
The first manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of esters to alcohols has been developed. The combination of Mn(CO) Br with [HN(CH CH P(Et) ) ] leads to a mixture of cationic and neutral...

Dong K, Elangovan S, Sang R, Spannenberg A, Jackstell R, Junge K, et al.
Nat Commun . 2016 Jul; 7:12075. PMID: 27377550
Upgrading C1 chemicals (for example, CO, CO/H2, MeOH and CO2) with C-C bond formation is essential for the synthesis of bulk chemicals. In general, these industrially important processes (for example,...

Elangovan S, Topf C, Fischer S, Jiao H, Spannenberg A, Baumann W, et al.
J Am Chem Soc . 2016 May; 138(28):8809-14. PMID: 27219853
Hydrogenations constitute fundamental processes in organic chemistry and allow for atom-efficient and clean functional group transformations. In fact, the selective reduction of nitriles, ketones, and aldehydes with molecular hydrogen permits...

Elangovan S, Sortais J, Beller M, Darcel C
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2015 Sep; 54(48):14483-6. PMID: 26403489
A general and benign iron-catalyzed α-alkylation reaction of ketones with primary alcohols has been developed. The key to success of the reaction is the use of a Knölker-type complex as...
