Recent advances in nickel-catalyzed C-C and C-N bond formation via HA and ADC reactions

In recent times, earth-abundant 3d-transition-metal catalysts have attracted much attention in contemporary catalysis. They have been widely employed as suitable alternatives to their counterparts noble metals. In particular, nickel catalysts provide distinctive redox properties; thus, their efficiency in sustainable organic transformations is manifold. In this review article, recent advances in nickel-catalyzed hydrogen auto-transfer (HA) and acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) reactions for the construction of C-C and C-N bonds have been discussed.

Automated summary

Earth-abundant 3d-transition-metal catalysts, particularly nickel catalysts, have been of great interest in contemporary catalysis as suitable alternatives to noble metals. Nickel catalysts exhibit distinctive redox properties, making them efficient in sustainable organic transformations, especially in the construction of C-C and C-N bonds through hydrogen auto-transfer (HA) and acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) reactions.
