Ruthenium–benzocrownether complexes: Synthesis, structures, catalysis and immobilisation in ionic liquids
摘要:
A facile pathway to [RuCl2(eta(6)-betizocrownether)](2) complexes is described and crystal structures of the complexes [RuCl2(eta(6)-benzo-15-crown-5)](2) and [RuCl2(eta(6)-dibenzo-18-crown-6)](2) are reported. The complexes were derivatised with (1S,2R)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol and evaluated in the enantioselective transfer-hydrogenation of acetophenone. The effect of complexation of different alkaline metals (Na, K, Cs) within the crown on the selectivity and reaction rate was studied. Interaction of a sulfonated phosphine ligand with the crown was probed by NOESY-NNIR and utilisation of the crownether to serve as an anchor for catalyst immobilisation was investigated.
