Hydrazone complexes of ruthenium(II): Synthesis, crystal structures and catalytic applications in N-alkylation reactions

A series of new Ru(II) complexes of 8-hydroxy quinoline-2-carboxyaldehyde hydrazone of the general formula [RuH(CO)(EPh3)2L] (1–6) (E = P or As, L = N’-((8-hydroxyquinolin-2-yl)methylene)thiophene-2-carbohydrazide (HQ-THy), N’-((8-hydroxyquinolin-2-yl)methylene)isonicotinohydrazide (HQ-IHy), N’-((8-hydroxyquinolin-2-yl)methylene) benzohydrazide (HQ-BHy)) have been synthesized. They have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR (1H, 13C & 31P) and ESI-MS spectral methods. Further, structures of two of the complexes have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique which revealed a pseudo octahedral geometry with the coordination of the quinoline nitrogen and quinoline oxygen atoms of the ligand. All the new complexes have been employed as efficient catalysts in N-alkylation reactions for the synthesis of tertiary amines by the coupling of secondary amines with aromatic primary alcohols at low catalyst loading with maximum yields. In addition, the effects of substituents on the ligands, different solvents as well as bases and amounts of catalyst loading on the catalytic activity of the complexes have been thoroughly investigated. Complex 1 was found to be efficient catalyst towards N-alkylation of alcohols with the amine. Further, a variety of secondary amines and aromatic (hetero) primary alcohols with various functional groups have also been successfully used in the N-alkylation reactions and it has been found that only one equivalent of the alcohol was consumed in the process.

Half-sandwich ruthenium-carbene catalysts: Synthesis, characterization, and catalytic application in the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols

In this study, the synthesis and characterization of new half-sandwich ruthenium complexes containing oxygen functionalised N-aryl and N-alkyl benzimidazol-2-ylidene ligands have been reported. All ruthenium complexes were tested as catalysts for a wide range of substrates in the N-alkylation of secondary cyclic amines such as pyrrolidine and piperidine, and 4-methylaniline which was a primary aromatic amine with alcohols by hydrogen-borrowing process. The catalytic reactions were performed with 1 mol% catalyst loading at 120 °C, 16 h under solvent-free conditions. All ruthenium complexes showed excellent catalytic activity, and N-alkylated products were obtained selectively.

Alkylation of cyclic amines with alcohols catalyzed by Ru(II) complexes bearing N-Heterocyclic carbenes

This paper includes the synthesis of 2-(1,3-dioxane-2-yl)ethyl substituted benzimidazole substituted N-heterocyclic carbenes precursors and their ruthenium complexes. Synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy. All complexes have been tested in the alkylation of pyrrolidine and morpholine with alcohols, showing an excellent activity in this reaction.

N-Alkylation and N,C-Dialkylation of Amines with Alcohols in the Presence of Ruthenium Catalysts with Chelating N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands

A series of new benzimidazolium salts and ruthenium(II) complexes containing chelating N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) functionalized with a benzylic group and an acetal group were prepared. All of the synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy, and the molecular structures of 2c and 2d were determined by X-ray crystallography. All of the complexes were tested in the alkylation of cyclic amine derivatives with alcohols and showed excellent activity in this reaction. Cyclic amines were alkylated with primary and heteroaromatic alcohols. The Ru-NHC complexes also catalyzed N,C3-dialkylation of cyclic amines. (Chemical Equation Presented).

Sp3 C-H bond activation with ruthenium(II) catalysts and C(3)-alkylation of cyclic amines

A selective C(3)-alkylation via activation/functionalization of sp 3 C-H bond of saturated cyclic amines was promoted by (arene)ruthenium(II) complexes featuring a bidentate phosphino-sulfonate ligand upon reaction with aldehydes. This highly regioselective sustainable transformation takes place via initial dehydrogenation of cyclic amines and hydrogen autotransfer processes.

Ruthenium-catalyzed cascade N- and C(3)-dialkylation of cyclic amines with alcohols involving hydrogen autotransfer processes

An unprecented N- and C(3)-dialkylation of unactivated amines by a cascade reaction via borrowing hydrogen methodology using new (arene)ruthenium(II) complexes featuring phosphinosulfonate ligands is described. This reaction is highly regioselective and produces water as the only side product. Copyright
