Ni-catalysed acceptorless dehydrogenative aromatisation of cyclohexanones enabled by concerted catalysis specific to supported nanoparticles by Takehiro Matsuyama, Takafumi Yatabe, Tomohiro Yabe, Kazuya Yamaguchi

“…Ni is a promising candidate catalyst as a congener of Pd, but thermally Ni-catalysed dehydrogenative aromatisation has not been reported even in an oxidative manner because of the difficulty of β-hydride elimination and the fast re-insertion of Ni–H species. Here, we report a CeO2-supported Ni(0) nanoparticle catalyst for acceptorless dehydrogenative aromatisation of cyclohexanone derivatives. …”
