Catalytic high pressure synthesis of hindered β-aminoesters
TL;DR: Hindered β-aminoesters are obtained in fair to high yields by the conjugate addition of amines to α,β-unsaturated esters, both substrates harboring bulky groups, under high pressure in the presence of catalytic amounts of ytterbium triflate as discussed by the authors.

Homogeneous catalytic reactions involving methyl formate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the advantages of using methyl formate which offers an alternative strategy for the production of basic chemicals via homogeneously catalyzed reactions (hydrogenation, carbonylation, homologation, decarbonylation and alkylation).

Homogeneous activation of the CH bond in formates. Decarbonylation of formates to alcohols
TL;DR: Triruthenium dodecacarbonyl in the presence of a basic phosphine catalyzes the decarbonylation of formates to the corresponding alcohols in high yield and with high selectivity.
