RESUMO
A novel catalytic system with a tripodal cobalt complex is developed for efficiently converting primary alcohols to esters. KO tBu is found essential to the transformation. A preliminary mechanistic study suggests a plausible reaction route that involves an initial Co-catalyzed dehydrogenation of alcohol to aldehyde, followed by a Tishchenko-type pathway to ester mediated by KO tBu.

RESUMO
A new tetradentate tripodal ligand, iPrPPPNHPyMe, and the cobalt complexes were synthesized and characterized. The well-defined cobalt complexes efficiently catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols into ketones.
