Abstract

Ruthenium complexes [RuCl2L2] were prepared by treating [RuCl2( p-cymene)]2 with structurally similar N-(2-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene)-3-methylpyridin-2-amine, 4-(2-(diphenylphosphino)benzylideneamino)-3-methylphenol and 4-(2-(2-(diphenylphosphino)benzylideneamino)ethyl)phenol refluxed in toluene. These complexes were used as catalysts for the of acetophenones in 2-propanol and for the direct of styrenes under hydrogen pressure. The results of the catalytic studies provide evidence that these complexes function as excellent catalysts for and . Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
