Technical Notes:
1. Ligand/Ruthenium catalyst for the direct synthesis of amides from alcohols and primary amines.
2. Ligand/ catalyst for the hydrogenation of esters in high yields under mild pressure and neutral
conditions.
3. Ligand/Ruthenium catalyst for the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols to form esters in high yields
under neutral conditions.
4. Ligand/Catalytic hydrogenation of dimethyl carbonate, methyl carbamates, and methyl formate, a route to methanol based on co and CO2.
