Abstract
A single homogeneous nickel(II) complex, supported by the tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate ligand and 2-hydroxyquinoline ancillary ligand, is shown to catalyze both acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols and hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds under mild conditions. Products from the catalytic reactions were isolated with good yields. A mechanistic investigation highlights the critical role of the 2-hydroxyquinoline ligand in the catalysis and argues against a stepwise dehydrogenation pathway.
