A method for the synthesis of a new phosphine-free [N,N,O]-tridentate Schiff base ligand L1 using the 2-Ferrocenyl-2-thiazoline as scaffold was developed. The 1,2-disubstituted ferrocene-based ligand was assembled using as key strategy the directed ortho-metalation (DoM) in 2-ferrocenyl-2-thiazoline. L1 was successfully obtained in 83% of overall yield after two-step synthesis. The coordination ability of L1 towards Ru(II) was evidenced and the resulting complex was characterized by IR, UV-vis and EPR. Its catalytic performance was tested in transfer hydrogenation of a variety of substrates giving moderate to excellent conversions.

Catalytic hydrogenation is one of the most important reactions both in academic research and industry. We explored ability of the manganese pi-complexes to act as Shvo-type catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of ketones. DFT calculations suggested that the transfer of hydrogen atoms from the hypothetical intermediate [(C6Me3H2OH)Mn(CO)2H] to acetone has low activation barrier of 10.9 kcal mol?1. Experimentally a number of ketones with various functional groups (OMe, NH2, Cl, CF3, pyridyl) were successfully reduced in isopropanol at 90 °C in the presence of the complex [(C6Me3H2OH)Mn(CO)3]BF4 (1 mol %) and tBuOK (75 mol %). However, further investigation revealed that the reduction was mainly promoted by base rather than the manganese complex.
