A Ni-catalyzed hydrogenation of C-O compounds with sodium formate is developed. Various esters, i.e. aryl, alkenyl, benzyl pivalates, and even the aryl ethers, were efficiently reduced with a loading of nickel catalysts down to 0.5 mol%. Reactive functional groups such as C-C double bonds, carbonyl, CN, MeS and halogen groups are tolerable. This reaction can be used for the modification of complex molecules and carried out at a large scale.
Metal-free reductive cleavage of benzylic esters and ethers: Fragmentations result from single and double electron transfers

The mechanisms for the reductive cleavage of benzylic esters and ethers by neutral organic electron donor 1 are different (see scheme). Products isolated from the cleavage of benzylic ethers result from the transfer of two electrons, without the intermediacy of benzyl radicals, which are believed to be intermediates in the reductive cleavage of benzylic esters.
