Abstract: | Hydrogen transfer reduction processes are attracting increasing interest from synthetic chemists in view of their operational simplicity. For this aim, a series of novel Ru(II) complexes with the P-N-P ligands were synthesized starting from the complex [Ru(η6-p-cymene)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 or [RuCp*Cl(COD)]. The complexes were fully characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods. 31P-{1H} NMR, DEPT, 1H-13C HETCOR or 1H-1H COSY correlation experiments were used to confirm the spectral assignments. Complexes 5, 6 and 7 catalyze the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives to 1-phenylethanol derivatives in the presence of iso-PrOH as the hydrogen source. Catalytic studies showed that all complexes are excellent catalytic precursors for the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives in 0.1 M iso-PrOH solution. Notably 5 acts as an excellent catalyst giving the corresponding alcohols in excellent conversions up to 99% (TOF ≤ 492 h−1). |
