Journal ArticleDOI
The reactivity of five-coordinate Ru(II) (1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane) complexes with the N-donor ligands: ammonia, pyridine, 4-substituted pyridines, 2,2′-bipyridine, bis(o-pyridyl)amine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 4,7-diphenylphenanthroline and ethylenediamine

TL;DR: A series of Ru(II)(1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane)(L)2 complexes were synthesized from [RuCl2(dppb) l2 (μ-dPPb) or RuCl2 (dppB)- (PPh3); dppb = Ph2P(CH2)4PPH2, l2 = NH3, pyridine (py), 4-aminopyridine, 4-NH2py), etc..
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalysed aerobic dehydrogenation of amines and an X-ray crystal structure of a bis(benzylamine) ruthenium(II) porphyrin species

TL;DR: In this article, the trans-[RuVI(tmp)(O)2] 1 (tmp = dianion of 5,10,15,20-tetramesitylporphyrin) catalytically dehydrogenates primary and secondary amines in the presence of air; possible reaction steps involve a disproportionation reaction that generates a RuII intermediate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of chiral amines catalyzed homogeneously by metal complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, a review describes developments in catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral imines, focusing on some Rh and Ru catalysts developed in the Department of Chemistry, The University of British Columbia (UBC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogenolysis of β-O-4 lignin model dimers by a ruthenium-xantphos catalyst.
TL;DR: Hydrogenolysis reactions of so-called lignin model dimers using a Ru-xantphos catalyst are presented and improved syntheses of 18 and lign in models are also presented.
