Cyclopentadienyl RuII Complexes as Highly Efficient Catalysts for the N-Methylation of Alkylamines by Methanol
The ruthenium(II) half-sandwich complex [RuCl(eta5-C5H5)(PPh3)2] (1) catalyses the reaction between methanol and alkylamines RNH2 or R1R2NH to afford RN(CH3)2 and R1R2NCH3 products, respectively. The reaction is quantitative and generally fast, at the methanol reflux temperature, for a wide spectrum of substrates. Starting form primary amines, the stepwise formation of RN=CH2, RNHCH3, and RN(CH3)2 has been observed. Both PPh3 and Cl- dissociation from 1 are key-steps in forming the effective catalytic species. The catalytic activity of several half-sandwich neutral or cationic complexes (2-15) related to 1 is also discussed.
Note that a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both the forward and the reverse reactions and hence accelerates both the forward and the reverse reactions.Computed Properties of C41H35ClP2Ru, you can also check out more blogs about32993-05-8
