OsHCl(CO)[κ3-PyCH₂NHC₂H₄NHPtBu₂] is a robust and highly efficient precatalyst for coupling amines with methanol and ethanol to afford formamides and acetamides. It possesses excellent carbonyl selectivity with an unique activity for acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols to esters and amides.
