摘要
Dichloro-, bis(acetonitrile)chloro-, and tris(acetonitrile)ruthenium(II) complexes with the triphosphane ligands (R)(C)-(S)(Fe)-(S)(P)-P3Chir and (R)(C)-(S)(Fe)-(R)(P)-P3Chir, combining planar, phosphorus, and carbon chirality, were prepared and structurally characterized in solution. The complexes were tested as catalyst precursors for the reduction of trifluoroacetophenone to (R)-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol by either hydrogenation or hydrogen transfer from iPrOH. The best conversion and enantioselectivity was obtained with the tris(acetonitrile) precursor [{(R)(C)-(S)(Fe)-(S)(P)-P3Chir}Ru(CH3CN)(3)](PF6)(2) in hydrogen-transfer conditions using a basic co-catalyst.
