Mechanistic Investigation of the Hydrogenation of Ketones Catalyzed by a Ruthenium(II) Complex Featuring an N-Heterocyclic Carbene with a Tethered Primary Amine Donor: Evidence for an Inner Sphere Mechanism

The complex [Ru(p-cymene)(m-CH2NH2)Cl]PF6 (1) catalyzes the H2-hydrogenation of ketones in basic THF under 25 bar of H2 at 50 °C with a turnover frequency (TOF) of up to 461 h−1 and a maximum conversion of 99%. When the substrate is acetophenone, the TOF decreases significantly as the catalyst to su...
