A family of NNN pincer Ru(II) complexes with a pendant OH were developed, which exhibit unprecedented high reactivity and selectivity in N-monomethylation of amines and nitroarenes using methanol. The study discloses the pendant OH group facilitates oxidative dehydrogenation of methanol via a synergistic pathway and, during the catalytic cycle, dehydrogenation of methanol to form formaldehyde is a
开发了一系列带有 OH 侧基的 NNN 钳形 Ru(II) 配合物,它们在使用甲醇对胺和硝基芳烃进行 N-单甲基化时表现出前所未有的高反应性和选择性。该研究揭示了悬垂的 OH 基团通过协同途径促进甲醇的氧化脱氢,并且在催化循环中,甲醇脱氢生成甲醛是一个快速且可逆的步骤。
