The recent advances in homogeneous first-row transition-metal catalyzed for hydrogen production and important organic transformations from methanol, formic acid (FA), and bio-alcohols are the current interest, which is an important paradigm in chemical synthesis for the development of sustainable catalysis. Early work mainly based on noble metal (Ru, Ir, and Pt) catalysts, but at present the focused on mainly earth-abundant 3d base-metal (Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) complexes, which are showing growing interest, highly elusive and demanding in the modern science due to its low cost, less toxic and more abundance. In this review, we mainly aim to describe the topics such as a) hydrogen formation and organic transformations from methanol, formic acid, and bio-alcohols; b) C-methylation, N-methylation, and formamide formation using methanol; c) N-heterocycle, lactam, lactone and hydrogen formation from diol or bioalcohols; d) hydrogen formation and storage capability of the liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) and additionally a special attention is paid to the utility of these reactions including brief reaction mechanism, and scope of reaction.

最近在均相第一排过渡金属催化制氢和甲醇、甲酸 (FA) 和生物醇的重要有机转化方面取得的进展是当前的兴趣，这是化学合成中可持续发展的重要范例。催化。早期的工作主要基于贵金属（Ru、Ir 和 Pt）催化剂，但目前主要集中在地球上含量丰富的 3d 贱金属（Mn、Fe、Co 和 Ni）配合物上，这些配合物越来越受到关注，受到高度关注。由于其成本低、毒性小且数量多，在现代科学中难以捉摸且要求严格。在这篇综述中，我们主要旨在描述以下主题：a) 甲醇、甲酸和生物醇的氢形成和有机转化；b) C-甲基化，N-甲基化和使用甲醇形成甲酰胺；c)由二醇或生物醇形成N-杂环、内酰胺、内酯和氢；d) 液态有机氢载体 (LOHC) 的氢形成和储存能力，另外特别注意这些反应的效用，包括简要的反应机理和反应范围。
