A Heterobimetallic Rhodium(I)−Ruthenium(II) Catalyst for the Oppenauer-Type Oxidation of Primary and Secondary Alcohols under Mild Conditions
摘要:
A heterobimetallic complex, in which a RuCl2(acetone) (PPh3)(2) fragment is connected via three chloro bridges to a (eta(4)-C4Ph4CO)RhCl fragment, has been identified as a potent catalyst precursor for the Oppenauer-type oxidation of alcohols. With 0.1-0.5 mol % of this complex and K2CO3 as the cocatalyst, it is possible to oxidize secondary and primary alcohols at room temperature using acetone as the solvent and oxidation agent.

Unprecedented direct acceptorless dehydrogenation of C-C single bonds adjacent to functional groups to form alpha,beta-unsaturated compounds has been accomplished by using a new class of group 9 metal complexes. Metal-ligand cooperation operated by the hydroxycyclopentadienyl ligand was proposed to play a major role in the catalytic transformation.
