Abstract: | The known complex trans-RuCl2(NBD)Py2 (1, NBD is norbornadiene, Py is pyridine) reacts with either (R)-BINAP ((R)-2, 2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl), (S;S)-Chiraphos ((2S;3S-(-)-2,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane), (S;S)-Skewphos ((2S;4S)-(-)-2,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane), (R)-(S)-Josiphos ((R)-(-)-1-(S)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl]ethyl-dicyclohexylpho sphine), (R;R)-Norphos ((2R;3R)-(-)-2, 3-bis(diphenylphosphino)bicyclo2.2.1]hept-5-ene), or (R;R)-Me-DUPHOS ((-)-1,2-bis((2R;5R)-2, 5-dimethylphospholano)benzene) to generate in high yields the crystalline complexes trans-RuCl2(P-P*)Py2 (P-P* is the corresponding chiral bis(phosphine)). The complexes trans-RuCl2(P-P*)Py2 are active enantioselective hydrogenation catalysts for ketoesters and noncarboxylic olefins in the presence of small amounts of HBF4 (aq.). They are active for hydrogenation of carboxylic substrates in the presence of Et3N. Reaction of trans-RuCl2(P-P*)Py2 with (rac)-1,2-diphenylethylene-diamine (N-N*, either enantiomer) forms in good yields the corresponding compounds trans-RuCl2(P-P*)(N-N*). Representative hydrogenations with these catalysts are presented. |
