## Abstract The ruthenium(II) halfβsandwich complex [RuCl(Ξ·^5^βC~5~H~5~)(PPh~3~)~2~] (1) catalyses the reaction between methanol and alkylamines RNH~2~ or R^1^R^2^NH to afford RN(CH~3~)~2~ and R^1^R^2^NCH~3~ products, respectively. The reaction is quantitative and generally fast, at the methanol re
Dehydrogenation of methanol to methyl formate was carried out using copper-exchanged clays as catalysts. Methanol was selectively dehydrogenated to methyl formate on copper-exchanged laponite and fluoro tetrasilicic mica. In contrast, copper-exchanged montmorillonite and saponite only catalyzed the
