Otsuka, Takashi published the artcilePractical Selective Hydrogenation of α-Fluorinated Esters with Bifunctional Pincer-Type Ruthenium(II) Catalysts Leading to Fluorinated Alcohols or Fluoral Hemiacetals, HPLC of Formula: 2240-88-2, the publication is Journal of the American Chemical Society (2013), 135(26), 9600-9603, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
Selective hydrogenation of fluorinated esters with pincer-type bifunctional catalysts RuHCl(CO)(dpa) 1a, trans-RuH2(CO)(dpa) 1b, and trans-RuCl2(CO)(dpa) 1c (I; X = H, Cl; H, H; Cl, Cl, resp.) under mild conditions proceeds rapidly to give the corresponding fluorinated alcs. or hemiacetals in good to excellent yields. Under the optimized conditions, the hydrogenation of chiral (R)-2-fluoropropionate proceeds smoothly to give the corresponding chiral alc. without any serious decrease of the ee value.
