Abstract
The catalytic performance of salicylaldimine-based ruthenium carbonyl complexes [ArN = CH(3-tBuC6H3O)]2Ru(CO)2 [Ar = C6H5 (1a); 4-OMeC6H4 (1b); 4-MeC6H4 (1c); 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 (1d); 4-ClC6H4 (1e); 4-BrC6H4 (1f)] were explored in aerobic oxidation of aromatic amines to amides in refluxing tBuOH. All the ruthenium complexes 1a-1f showed good catalytic activity to selectivity access to amines and the complex 1f was found to the best catalyst. The present catalytic system is operationally simple and displayed good functional group tolerance. A variety of amides were obtained in 47 %–90 % yields.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
