Abstract

Complex RuCl2 (PPh3)(iBu-BTP)(5) was synthesized by the reaction of 2, 6-bis (5, 6-bis (iso- butyl)-1, 2, 4-triazin-3-yl) pyridine (iBu-BTP) and RuCl2 (PPh3) 3 in refluxing toluene, and its molecular structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic determination. Complex 5 was applied as a catalyst for transfer hydrogenation of ketones and exhibited catalytic activity comparable to RuCl2 (PPh3)(Me4BPPy)(1)(Me4BPPy= bis (3, 5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl) ...
