Transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone promoted by (arene)ruthenium(II) reduced schiff base complexes: An X-ray structure of [(ν6-p-cymene)RuCl (OC6H4-2-CH2 NHC6H4-p-Me)]

Arene ruthenium(II) reduced Schiff base complexes of formulation [ν6-p-cymene)RuCl(Ln)] (1-5, n = 1-5) were prepared by reacting [(ν6-p-cymene)RuCl2]2 with HLn in the presence of sodium carbonate in CH2Cl2. The complexes contain an ν6-p-cymene group, a chloride and a bidentate chelating N,O-donor ligand. The molecular structure of [(ν6-p-cymene)RuCl(OC6H4- 2-CH2NHC6H4-p-Me)] (1) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The complexes are found to be catalytically active for transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone to (±)1-phenylethanol in the presence of KOH and isopropanol showing percent conversion of 98 with the catalysts having a bulky substituent adjacent to the O- and N-donor sites of the auxiliary ligand.
