“…Electrocatalytic conversion of biomass-derived platform molecules is emerging as an attractive route to produce value-added fuels and chemicals due to the advantages in terms of renewable resources, sustainable energy-input and friendly environmental impact. 1–6 Biomass ( i.e. feedstocks) is regarded as the sole renewable carbon source and its utilization benefits the establishment of a carbon balance.…”

Nitrogen‐containing heterocycles represent fundamental components found in a myriad of natural compounds, pharmaceuticals, tailored bioactive substances, and agrochemicals. In recent decades, the field of synthetic chemistry has prioritized these compounds, directing considerable research endeavour toward developing efficient and concise methodologies for their synthesis. Consequently, there is a growing interest in pioneering novel synthetic approaches to fabricate these immensely coveted structural motifs. Transition metal‐catalyzed reactions leveraging solvents as carbon (C1) synthons offer notable advantages, including streamlined processes, enhanced atom economy, and environmental sustainability. This review sheds light on the recent advancements in the utilization of collective solvents such as methanol (alongside other alcohols), N,N‐dimethylethanolamine (DMEA), and triethylamine (TEA) (in conjunction with other amines), tetrahydrofuran (THF), toluene, dichloromethane (DCM), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and dimethylformamide (DMF) as C1 synthons, serving as foundational units for the synthesis of N‐heterocycles, including quinazolinone, quinazoline, quinoxaline, pyridine, and pyrimidine, among others. Various reaction conditions employing diverse transition metals, coupling partners, and solvents as carbon synthons or reagents, as reported in the literature, have been explored.

The one‐carbon degradation of aliphatic carboxylic acids has been studied using a H2IrCl6‐Ru(CO)4I2 bimetallic catalyst. Alkanes, RH, have been obtained from the corresponding RCOOH in good to near quantitative yields via a process that is thought to involve (i) a decarbonylation process that involves the formation of alkenes along with CO and H2O, (ii) a water–gas shift (WGS) reaction to give H2 and CO2, and (iii) the hydrogenation of the resulting alkenes.
