Unexpected activity of MgO nanoclusters for the reductive-coupling synthesis of organonitrogen chemicals with C = N bonds

Abstract Reductive-coupling of nitro compounds and alcohols is a sustainable route for constructing C = N bonds in organonitrogen chemicals, yet challenging due to the inertness of α-Csp3-H bond in alcohols and the vulnerability of C = N bonds towards hydrogenation. Here, we report the surprising ca...
