Nano-NiFe2O4 as an efficient catalyst for regio- and chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of olefins/alkynes and dehydrogenation of alcohols under Pd-/Ru-free conditions

Here, we have demonstrated the magnetic nano-NiFe2O4 catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of olefins/alkynes using isopropyl alcohol as a source of hydrogen under ligand/base/Pd-/Ru-metal-free conditions, and dehydrogenation of alcohols under oxidant-free conditions.
