This application is vital in the production of aldehydes, which are important intermediates in the synthesis of various chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

Purification Methods

Dissolve the salt in H2O, filter and concentrate to crystallisation in the absence of air to avoid oxidation. Evaporate the solution in a stream of HCl gas while being heated just below its boiling point until a syrup is formed and finally to dryness at 80-100o and dried in a vacuum over H2SO4. When heated at 700o in the presence of Cl2 the insoluble -form is obtained [Grube in Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry (Ed. Brauer) Academic Press Vol II p 1598 1965, Carlsen et al. J Org Chem 46 3936 1981].

Accelerated photorelease of NO from {Ru-NO}6 nitrosyls containing carboxamido-N and carboxylato-O donors: Syntheses, structures, and photochemistry

Three ruthenium nitrosyls, namely, [(Me2bpb)Ru(NO)(OAc)], [(Me2bpb)Ru(NO)(OBz)] (1), and [(Me2Qb)Ru-(NO)(qca)] (BF4) (2), have been synthesized from designed ligands with carboxamido-N donors. In all three compl

Synthesis and characterisation of some Ru(II) complexes of 2-carbamoylpyridine derivatives

p-Substituted N-phenyl derivatives of 2-carbamoylpyridine (L) have been prepared by the reaction of pyridine-2-carboxylic acid with p-substituted aniline. Five complexes of the type [Ru(L)(DMSO)2Cl2] have been synthesized by the reaction of [Ru(DMSO)4Cl2] with L. The amide ligands have been characterized by elemental analysis, infra red and 1H NMR spectral studies. The complexes are diamagnetic and show intense absorptions due to metal to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transitions in the UV-visible spectra. The IR spectra of the complexes show that the amide ligands coordinate to the ruthenium (II) ion as a bidentate ligand coordinating from pyridyl nitrogen and from the carbonyl oxygen of the amide group. The complexes undergo a reversible ruthenium (II)-ruthenium (III) oxidation near 0.55 V in acetonitrile solution. The ruthenium (II)-ruthenium (III) oxidation potentials of the complexes are found to be sensitive to the nature of the substituent on the ligand. Elsevier Science Ltd.
