He, Xiaochun published the artcileSynthesis of Unsymmetrical N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Nitrogen-Phosphine Chelated Ruthenium(II) Complexes and Their Reactivity in Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling of Alcohols to Esters, Formula: C8H18O, the main research area is tridentate phosphinophenyliminoimidazolylidene chelated ruthenacycle preparation catalyst dehydrogenative coupling alc; crystal structure tridentate phosphinophenyliminoimidazolylidene chelated ruthenacycle; mol structure tridentate phosphinophenyliminoimidazolylidene chelated ruthenacycle; ester preparation.
Two novel Ru complexes RuH(CO)Cl(PPh3)(κ2-CP) (1) and [fac-RuH(CO)(PPh3)(κ3-CNP)]Cl (2) bearing unsym. N-heterocyclic carbene-N-phosphine (CNP) were synthesized and characterized with 1H NMR, 31P NMR, and HRMS. The structure of complex 2 was further confirmed by single-crystal x-ray diffraction. An anion exchange experiment proved that complex 2 could transform into complex 1 in solution The two complexes exhibited a highly catalytic performance in acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcs. to esters, and the excellent isolated yields of esters were given in a catalyst loading of 1% for para- and meta-substituted benzyl alcs. and long-chain primary alcs. Although some ortho-substituted benzyl alcs. displayed a relatively low reactivity due to the steric hindrance and the coordination of electron donor with the Ru center, the good product yields were still obtained by prolonging the reaction time. Especially, this system successfully realized the dehydrogenative cross-coupling to esters between two different primary alcs.
