A Ruthenium-Grafted Hydrotalcite as a Multifunctional Catalyst for Direct α-Alkylation of Nitriles with Primary Alcohols

Treatment of a hydrotacite, Mg6Al2(OH)16CO3, with an aqueous solution of RuCl3·nH2O afforded a monomeric Ru(IV) species on the surface of the hydrotalcite. This novel Ru-grafted hydrotalcite (Ru/HT) efficiently catalyzed α-alkylation of nitriles with primary alcohols through the cooperative catalysi...

Zusammenfassung:Treatment of a hydrotacite, Mg6Al2(OH)16CO3, with an aqueous solution of RuCl3·nH2O afforded a monomeric Ru(IV) species on the surface of the hydrotalcite. This novel Ru-grafted hydrotalcite (Ru/HT) efficiently catalyzed α-alkylation of nitriles with primary alcohols through the cooperative catalysis between the Ru species and the surface base sites. The catalyst system could be further extended for the one-pot synthesis of α,α-dialkylated phenylacetonitriles via the base-catalyzed Michael reaction of α-alkylated phenylacetonitrile with activate olefins.
