Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones Using Pyridine-Aminoalcohol Ligands

Abstract

Pyridine-aminoalcohol ligands were synthesized and evaluated as catalyst generated in situ from RuCl₂(PPh₃)₃ for transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones. It was found that the ligand I was more active than II.

Keywords

• Transfer hydrogenation; Aminoalcohol; Ruthenium
