Synthesis and characterization of ruthenium (II) carbonyl complexes containing naphthyridine and acetylacetonate ligands and their catalytic activity in the hydrogen transfer reaction
Graphical abstract
A series of novel complexes of the Ru(L)2(CO)2 L = 2-(3′ methoxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine (complex 1), and type Ru(acac)2(L)(CO) with L = 2-(3′ methoxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine (complex 2), 2-(2′-bromophenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine (complex 3) and 2-phenyl-1,8-naphthyridine (complex 4) were synthesized and characterized.
Highlights
► Ruthenium naphthyridine complexes were successfully achieved in hydrogenation. ► Ruthenium naphthyridine carbonyl complexes were synthesized. ► One pot synthesis for the ruthenium complexes using a single procedure is reported. ► The crystal structure confirms the monodentate ruthenium naphthyridine complexes.

Hydrogenation of imines catalyzed by ruthenium(II) complexes containing phosphorus-nitrogen ligands via hydrogen transfer reaction
2022, Molecular CatalysisCitation Excerpt :All complexes studied reported high conversion and selectivities after 3 h of reaction. RuL3 shows the highest catalytic activity (entry 3), achieving a conversion of 83% towards the corresponding alcohol in only one hour of reaction, while complexes RuL1 and RuL2 achieved lower conversions (48% and 20% respectively) at the same reaction time, steadily increasing up to 73% and 56% after 3 h; in comparison, our group previously studied this reaction catalyzed by ruthenium (II) complexes bearing naphthyridine-derived ligands [11], achieving similar conversions (up to 92% after 3 h of reaction with the most active catalyst). Once the catalytic capabilities of the ruthenium complexes were confirmed, we proceeded to optimize the catalytic performance using a different base/catalyst ratio (48/1) and sodium tert‑butoxide (in 24/1 and 48/1 ratios, Table 2).
Synthesis, structural characterization, and activity on the transfer hydrogenation reaction of dimesitylacetonate piano stool organometallic complexes of Ru(II), Rh(III), and Ir(III)
2019, Journal of Molecular StructureCitation Excerpt :On the other hand, it is well known that microwave (mw) irradiation has become an outstanding alternative for conventional heating on different synthesis proposes [33]. In independent works, Zhang and Aguirre showed in seminal papers on TH reaction that Ru, Rh, or Ir complexes partially supported by Cp's or acac ligands can be used as catalyst on the reduction of nitrobenzene or acetophenone [34,35]. Thus, having in mind that just a few acetylacetonate complexes have been tested under mw conditions, we carried out a comparative set of TH reactions of ketones under this approach, by using 1–3 as catalyst.
Catalytic activity in transfer hydrogenation using ruthenium (II) carbonyl complexes containing two 1,8-naphthyridine as N-monodentate ligands
2019, Inorganica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :Ligands with different transition metals such as amido [19–22], thiolate [23–28], phosphido [29], imido [30–40], oxo [41–46], and sulfido [47] have been investigated for this reaction. The most active and selective catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation reactions are ruthenium [48], iridium [49] and rhodium [50] complexes containing nitrogen, oxygen and N,O-donor ligands [51–58]. We have investigated the synthesis of ruthenium complexes containing polypyridine ligands and their application as potential homogeneous catalysts.
Transfer hydrogenation of N-benzylideneaniline catalyzed by ruthenium complexes with pincer-type phosphorus nitrogen ligands using propan-2-ol as the hydrogen source
2017, Catalysis CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :For instance, rhodium, iron, and iridium catalysts display a very effective behavior in this reaction [16,17]. However, the ruthenium catalysts are very versatile since they have a larger number of applications in homogenous hydrogenations. Our group has studied the hydrogenation of imines using ruthenium complexes with polypyridine ligands [18–20] which lead to high conversions and selectivity. We found that an important problem in this reaction is the instability of the substrate under basic conditions.
