A series of ruthenium o-phosphane complexes was synthesized and characterized. The reactivity of the prepared complexes was studied by using them as catalysts for the hydroformylation of 1-hexene. The activities depended on the binding mode of the phosphane and on the strength of the ruthenium-phosphane interaction. Strongly coordinated chelating [2-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-(diphenyl) phosphane and [2-(methylthio)phenyl]- (diphenyl) phosphane showed poor activity, while weakly chelated [2-(methoxy)phenyl]-(diphenyl) phosphane and non-chelating phosphanes such as [2-(methyl)phenyl]-(diphenyl) phosphane or [2-(ethyl)phenyl]-(diphenyl) phosphane led to higher activities.
