Direct Formation of Tethered Ru(II) Catalysts Using Arene Exchange
نویسندگان
چکیده
An 'arene exchange' approach has been successfully applied for the first time to the synthesis of Ru(II)-based 'tethered' reduction catalysts directly from their ligands in one step. This provides an alternative method for the formation of known complexes, and a route to a series of novel complexes. The novel complexes are highly active in both asymmetric transfer and pressure hydrogenation of ketones.

Kinetic and structural studies on 'tethered' Ru(II) arene ketone reduction catalysts.
A series of kinetic and structural investigations on ruthenium-based catalysts for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones are reported. A method is reported for monitoring the formation of ruthenium hydride species in real time using (1)H NMR spectroscopy.

A series of new benzimidazolium halides were synthesized in good yields as unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors containing the N-CH₂-arene group. The benzimidazolium halides were readily converted into ruthenium(II)-NHC complexes with the general formula [RuCl₂(η⁶,η¹-arene-CH₂-NHC)]. The structures of all new compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), ...

متن کاملRu-catalyzed β-selective and enantioselective addition of amines to styrenes initiated by direct arene-exchange.
A catalytic β-selective addition of amines to styrenes proceeded in the presence of cationic Ru complexes combined with diphosphine ligands. In the reaction of α-methylstyrene, an enantioselective addition was achieved by using xylylBINAP.
متن کاملCatalytic SNAr of unactivated aryl chlorides.
We present nucleophilic aromatic substitution of unsubstituted aryl chlorides via a mechanism that is catalytic in [CpRu(p-cymene)]PF6 and involves a Ru(η(6)-arylchloride) intermediate. From the spectroscopic evidence we infer that arene exchange is the rate limiting step in this process and develop several new Ru(ii) complexes that lower the activation barrier to arene exchange.
