Hydrogenation of single and multiple N–N or N–O bonds by Ru(II) catalysts in homogeneous phase

Nickel Hydrogenation Composite Catalysts Modified by Zirconium in Competitive Benzene Hydrogenation: Effect of Modifiers

A co-impregnation method was applied to the Ni/Zr-HMS/HZSM-5 catalyst (with various amounts of zirconium) during the hydrogenation of benzene. The physicochemical properties of the prepared nickel catalyst were characterized using X - ray diffraction, X - ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desor...

RuII, IrIII and OsII mesoionic carbene complexes: efficient catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of selected functionalities.

Pyridine-appended triazolylidene donors have been recently used as ligands in various homogeneous catalytic processes. We present here a new pyrimidine substituted triazolium salt which was prepared and used in the coordination to RuII and OsII. The new triazolium salt and the obtained complexes were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The molecular composition of the mentioned comp...

Opportunities offered by chiral η⁶-arene/N-arylsulfonyl-diamine-RuII catalysts in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones and imines.

Methods for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones and imines are still being intensively studied and developed. Of foremost interest is the use of Noyori's [RuCl(η⁶-arene)(N-TsDPEN)] complexes in the presence of a hydrogen donor (i-PrOH, formic acid). These complexes have found numerous practical applications and have been extensively modified. The resulting derivatives have be...

Enhancing the enantioselectivity of novel homogeneous organometallic hydrogenation catalysts.

Stereoselective Catalysts for the Homogeneous Hydrogenation of Dienes

Significantly increased aCtlVlfY of Cr(CO)6 was achieved for the stereoselective homogeneous hydrogenation of methyl sorbate and tmns,trans-conjugated fatty esters at ambient temperature and pressure by exposing the catalyst to UV irradiation (3500.'1.) in a solvent mixture of cyclohexane-acetonitrile (20:1). In this solvent mixture, methyl sorb ate was converted quantitatively at ambient condi...
