New iminophosphine-Ru(II) complexes and their application in hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation
Ruthenium complexes [RuCl2L2] were prepared by treating [RuCl2(p‐cymene)]2 with structurally similar N‐(2‐(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene)‐3‐methylpyridin‐2‐amine, 4‐(2‐(diphenylphosphino)benzylideneamino)‐3‐methylphenol and 4‐(2‐(2‐(diphenylphosphino)benzylideneamino)ethyl)phenol refluxed in toluene...

Zusammenfassung: | Ruthenium complexes [RuCl2L2] were prepared by treating [RuCl2(p‐cymene)]2 with structurally similar N‐(2‐(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene)‐3‐methylpyridin‐2‐amine, 4‐(2‐(diphenylphosphino)benzylideneamino)‐3‐methylphenol and 4‐(2‐(2‐(diphenylphosphino)benzylideneamino)ethyl)phenol refluxed in toluene. These complexes were used as catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenones in 2‐propanol and for the direct hydrogenation of styrenes under hydrogen pressure. The results of the catalytic studies provide evidence that these complexes function as excellent catalysts for hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Iminophosphine–Ru(II) complexes have been synthesized, characterized and tested as catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenones in 2‐propanol and for the direct hydrogenation of styrenes under hydrogen pressure. The studies demonstrate that these complexes act as excellent catalysts for hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation. |
