Dual utility of a single diphosphine–ruthenium complex: a precursor for new complexes and, a pre-catalyst for transfer-hydrogenation and Oppenauer oxidation
Aparajita Mukherjee, Samaresh Bhattacharya
Abstract
The [Ru(dppbz)(CO)<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>] (dppbz = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene) complex serves as an useful precursor for the synthesis of new complexes, and also as an efficient pre-catalyst for catalytic transfer-hydrogenation and Oppenauer oxidation.
