Nagalakshmi, Veerasamy published the artcileSynthesis and characterization of new ruthenium(III) complexes derived from fluoreneamine-based Schiff base ligands and their catalytic activity in transfer hydrogenation of ketones, Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks, the main research area is ruthenium fluoreneamine Schiff base complex preparation transfer hydrogenation catalyst.
An easy and convenient synthesis of a new series of octahedral ruthenium(III) complexes bearing Schiff base ligands of general formula [RuCl2(EPh3)2(L)] (E = P, As and L = O,N-donor Schiff bases) is reported. The composition of all complexes was unequivocally characterized by spectral (IR, UV-visible, EPR) and ESI-MS techniques. The substituted Schiff base ligands behave as bidentate O,N-donors and coordinate to ruthenium via the phenolic oxygen, the azomethine nitrogen. Complexes were proven to catalyze the transfer hydrogenation of linear, cyclic and aromatic ketones to their corresponding secondary alcs. in the presence of i-PrOH/KOH at 80° with conversion up to 99%. The effect of other variables on the transfer hydrogenation reaction such as solvent, base, and catalyst loading is also reported.
