Hydrodenitrogenation of pyridines and quinolines at a multinuclear titanium hydride framework

Hydrodenitrogenation is a fundamental process in the petroleum refinery context. Here, the authors report the mild ring-opening and denitrogenation of pyridines and quinolines with a titanium hydride cluster and the unusual formation of denitrogenated cyclic hydrocarbon products.
