HYDROGENATION OF ESTERS OR CARBONYL GROUPS WITH TETRADENTATE AMINO/IMINO-THIOETHER BASED RUTHENIUM COMPLEXES
-
Paragraph 0112, (2013/10/22)
The present invention relates to the field of catalytic hydrogenation and, more particularly, to the use of specific ruthenium catalysts, or pre-catalysts, in hydrogenation processes for the reduction of ketones and/or aldehydes into the corresponding alcohol respectively. Said catalysts are ruthenium complexes comprising a tetradentate ligand (L4) coordinating the ruthenium with: two nitrogen atoms, each in the form of a primary or secondary amine (i.e. a NH2 or NH group) or N-alkyl imine functional groups (i.e. a C═N group), and two sulfur atoms, each in the form of thioether functional groups.

In connection with structure-activity relationship studies, analogues of campholenal ((+)-4b), an important building block for sandalwood-like odorants, were prepared.The five-membered-ring analogues 4 were obtained by epoxidation of the corresponding α-pinene derivatives 2, followed by catalytic ZnBr2 isomerisation (Scheme 2).The six-membered-ring skeleton was obtained by ozonolysis of α-campholenyl acetate ((-)-14b), followed by intramolecular aldol condensation (Scheme 5). 13C-NMR assignments are given.
