Kaithal, Akash published the artcileRuthenium(II)-catalyzed β-methylation of alcohols using methanol as C1 source, Computed Properties of 111-87-5, the main research area is methylated alc green preparation regioselective; alc methanol methylation ruthenium catalyst.
Selective introduction of Me branches into the carbon chains of alcs. could be achieved with low loadings of ruthenium precatalyst [RuH(CO)(BH4)(HN(C2H4PPh2)2)] (Ru-MACHO-BH) using methanol both as methylating reagent and as reaction medium. A wide range of structurally divers alcs. was β-methylated with excellent selectivity (>99 %) in fair to high yields (up to 94 %) under standard conditions for generation of methylated primary alcs. RCH(Me)CH2OH [R = Me, Ph, 4-MeOC6H4, etc.] and secondary alcs. such as ArCH(OH)CH(Me)2 [Ar = Ph, 4-MeC6H4, 2-naphthyl, etc.] and turnover numbers up to 18,000 could be established. The overall reaction rate of complex catalytic network appeared to be governed by interconnection of individual subcycles through availability of reactive intermediates. The synthetic procedure opened pathways to important structural motifs following green chem. principles.
