Thiyagarajan, Subramanian; Gunanathan, Chidambaram published the artcile< Ruthenium-Catalyzed Selective Hydrogenation of Epoxides to Secondary Alcohols>, Reference of 403-41-8, the main research area is secondary alc preparation green chem; epoxide regioselective hydrogenation ruthenium catalyst.
A ruthenium(II)-catalyzed highly selective Markovnikov hydrogenation of terminal epoxides to secondary alcs. is reported. Diverse substitutions on the aryl ring of styrene oxides are tolerated. Benzylic, glycidyl, and aliphatic epoxides as well as diepoxides also underwent facile hydrogenation to provide secondary alcs. with exclusive selectivity. Metal-ligand cooperation-mediated ruthenium trans-dihydride formation and its reaction involving oxygen and the less substituted terminal carbon of the epoxide is envisaged for the origin of the observed selectivity.
