Taking the advantages of sustainability and economy, the borrowing hydrogen (BH) and acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) methodologies based on earth-abundant transition-metal catalysts have recently attracted enormous interest in both academia and industry. Novel strategies to achieve switchable synthesis of the BH and ADC products by precise control of the reaction parameters and the catalytic systems are desirable and will significantly promote the field. In this mini-review, we summarized the published work on the switchable synthesis of amine/imine, alcohol/ketone, nitrile/acrylonitrile, and alkane/alkene through BH and ADC pathways, respectively. Specifically, we discussed the origin of the product-switching.

凭借可持续性和经济性的优势，基于地球丰富的过渡金属催化剂的借氢（BH）和无受体脱氢偶联（ADC）方法最近引起了学术界和工业界的极大兴趣。通过精确控制反应参数和催化系统来实现 BH 和 ADC 产物的可切换合成的新策略是可取的，并将显着促进该领域的发展。在这篇小型综述中，我们分别总结了通过 BH 和 ADC 途径可切换合成胺/亚胺、醇/酮、腈/丙烯腈和烷烃/烯烃的已发表工作。具体来说，我们讨论了产品转换的起源。
