Supported organometallic complexes Part 34: synthesis and structures of an array of diamine(ether–phosphine)ruthenium(II) complexes and their application in the catalytic hydrogenation of trans-4-phenyl-3-butene-2-one
摘要:
The novel diamine-bis(ether-phosphine)ruthenium(II) complexes Cl2Ru(eta(1)-Ph2PCH2-CH2OCH3)(2)(diamine)(2)(3L(1)-3L(11)) have been obtained by reaction of equimolar amounts of Cl2Ru(P boolean AND O)(2) (2) with the respective diamines L-1-L-11 in good yields. X-ray structural investigations of 3L(2) and 3L(8) show monoclinic unit cells with the space group P2(1)/c. The octahedrally coordinated ruthenium atoms have each two trans-chlorides and cis-phosphines which is in agreement with NMR studies in solution. With the exception of 3L(4) all mentioned ruthenium complexes are highly catalytically active in the hydrogenation of the alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone trans-4-phenyl-3-butene-2-one. In most cases the conversions and selectivities toward the formation of the unsaturated alcohol trans-4-phenyl-3-butene-2-ol were 100% with high turnover frequencies under mild conditions.
