Aqueous phase C-H bond oxidation reaction of arylalkanes catalyzed by a water-soluble cationic Ru(III) complex [(pymox-Me2)2RuCl2]+BF4-.

چکیده
The cationic complex [(pymox-Me(2))RuCl(2)](+)BF(4)(-) was found to be a highly effective catalyst for the C-H bond oxidation reaction of arylalkanes in water. For example, the treatment of ethylbenzene (1.0 mmol) with t-BuOOH (3.0 mmol) and 1.0 mol % of the Ru catalyst in water (3 mL) cleanly produced PhCOCH(3) at room temperature. Both a large kinetic isotope effect (k(H)/k(D) = 14) and a relatively large Hammett value (rho = -1.1) suggest a solvent-caged oxygen rebounding mechanism via a Ru(IV)-oxo intermediate species.

Mechanism of Water Oxidation Catalyzed by a Dinuclear Ruthenium Complex Bridged by Anthraquinone
We synthesized 1,8-bis(2,2′:6′,2”-terpyrid-4′-yl)anthraquinone (btpyaq) as a new dimerizing ligand and determined its single crystal structure by X-ray analysis. The dinuclear Ruthenium complex [Ru2(μ-Cl)(bpy)2(btpyaq)](BF4)3 ([3](BF4)3, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) was used as a catalyst for water oxidation to oxygen with (NH4)2[Ce(NO3)6] as the oxidant (turnover numbers = 248). The initial reaction...
متن کاملAutocatalytic intermolecular versus intramolecular deprotonation in C-H bond activation of functionalized arenes by ruthenium(II) or palladium(II) complexes.
The activation of the C-H bond of 1-phenylpyrazole (2) and 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline (3) by [Ru(OAc)2(p-cymene)] is an autocatalytic process catalyzed by the co-product HOAc. The reactions are indeed faster in the presence of acetic acid and water but slower in the presence of a base K2CO3. A reactivity order is established in the absence of additives: 2-phenylpyridine>2-phenyl-2-oxazoline>1-phenylp...

Organometallic catalysis most often proceeds through a catalytic cycle that involves the coordination of the substrate, either by ligand substitution or by oxidative addition, transformation of the coordinated substrate, and liberation of the product, either by decoordination or by reductive elimination.[1] Classical examples that have been studied in great detail are the hydrogenation of olefi...

Two ruthenium acetylide complexes [Ru]CtC(C5H3RN) (1a, R ) H; 1b, R ) Me; [Ru] ) Cp(PPh3)2Ru) containing 2-pyridyl groups are prepared and their chemical reactivities are explored. Protonation of the ruthenium acetylide complex 1a with HBF4 takes place at both the nitrogen atom and C , giving the dicationic pyridiniumvinylidene complex {[Ru]dCdC(H)(C5H4NH)}(BF4)2 (3a). Addition of BF3 to 1a yie...

The kinetics of the oxidation of ruthenium(III) (Ru(III)) catalyzed oxidation of L-tryptophan (L-trp) by diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC) in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 0.20 mol dm -3 was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction between L-tryptophan and DPC in alkaline medium in presence of [Ru(III)] exhibits 1:4 stoichiometry (L-trp:DPC). The reaction was of first ...
