Preparation and spectroscopic studies of Fe(II), Ru(II), Pd(II) and Zn(II) complexes of Schiff base containing terephthalaldehyde and their transfer hydrogenation and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction

This study describes synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and catalytic activities of Fe(II), Ru(II), Pd(II) and Zn(II) complexes with a novel Schiff base ligand (L) derived from methyl 2-amino-5,5,7,7-tetramethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylate and terephthalaldehyde. We used spectroscopic techniques including IR, UV-Vis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, elemental analysis and also mass analysis and magnetic susceptibility measurements to identify the products. The Pd(II) complex was used as a potential catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of some aryl halides under optimized conditions. The effect of various bases such as NaOH, KOH, and KOBut was investigated in transfer hydrogenation (TH) of ketones by isopropyl alcohol as the hydrogen source. Ru(II) and Pd(II) complexes showed catalytic activity while Zn(II) and Fe(II) metal complexes failed to do that.

PRODUCTION METHOD OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE SECONDARY ALCOHOL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chemical catalytic method allowing efficient production of a corresponding optically active secondary alcohol from an aromatic ketone having a substituent at each of two β-positions in an aromatic ring to the carbonyl site, so that both enantiomers can be separately made. SOLUTION: A production method of optically active secondary alcohol is characterized by reacting a ketone compound such as acetophenone derivatives with hydrogen in the presence of a ruthenium complex catalyst having an optically active diphosphine ligand.

Preparation of a series of Ru(ii) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones

The reaction of [RuCl2(p-cymene]2 with Ag-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes yields a series of [(p-cymene)Ru(NHC)] complexes (2a-f). All synthesised compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy and the mo
