halides. The developed reductive alkylation reaction proceeds in the presence of the commercially available ruthenium catalyst [(cymene)RuCl2 ]2 (as low as 250 ppm) and carbon monoxide as the reducing agent. The reaction works well for a broad substrate scope, including aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and ketones. It can be carried out without a solvent and often gives nearly quantitative yields of the
提出了普通和无毒的醛作为
酮烷基化的试剂,而不是致癌的烷基卤化物。所开发的还原烷基化反应在市售
钌催化剂[(cymene)RuCl 2] 2(低至250ppm)和
一氧化碳作为还原剂的存在下进行。该反应适用于广泛的底物范围,包括芳族和脂族醛和
酮。它可以在没有溶剂的情况下进行,通常可以得到几乎定量的产物收率。这种简单,经济高效的方法不仅在实验室应用中而且对于工业界都很有希望,因为工业界将
一氧化碳作为大规模的废品生产。
