TpRuPPh3(CH3CN)2PF6 catalyzed the efficient rearrangement of α,β-epoxyketones to 1,2-diketones. Unlike a previously reported iron catalyst, the reaction in this case is applicable not only to 1,2-disubstituted epoxides but also to mono- and trisubstituted epoxides and tolerates oxygen functionalities. The sterically crowded and highly basic tris(1-pyrazolyl)borate (Tp) ligand of the ruthenium catalyst
TpRuPPh 3(CH 3 CN)2 PF 6催化α,β-环氧酮高效重排为1,2-二酮。与先前报道的铁催化剂不同,在这种情况下,该反应不仅适用于1,2-二取代的环氧化物,而且适用于单和三取代的环氧化物,并具有氧官能度。钌催化剂的空间密集且高度碱性的三(1-吡唑基)硼酸酯(Tp)配体可能是其对1,2-二酮而不是1,3-二酮的高选择性的原因。
