Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Arylketones Catalyzed by Enantiopure Ruthenium(II)/Pybox Complexes Containing Achiral Phosphonite and Phosphinite Ligands.


ABSTRACT: A family of complexes of the formula trans-[RuCl2(L)(R-pybox)] (R-pybox = (S,S)-iPr-pybox, (R,R)-Ph-pybox, L = monodentate phosphonite, PPh(OR)2, and phosphinite, L = PPh2(OR), ligands) were screened in the catalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone, observing a strong influence of the nature of both the R-pybox substituents and the L ligand in the process. The best results were obtained with complex trans-[RuCl2{PPh2(OEt)}{(R,R)-Ph-pybox}] (2c), which provided high conversion and enantioselectivity (up to 96% enantiomeric excess, e.e.) for the reduction of a variety of aromatic ketones, affording the (S)-benzylalcohols.
