General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.

Application

Ru based complexes may be used in the synthesis of anticancer drugs. Ru complexes in conjunction with magnesium may be used in the atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) and cyclization (ATRC) reactions.
Ru may be used as a catalyst in the following reactions;
  • oxidative coupling of indoles and pyrroles with several alkenes
  • arylations reactions.

An efficient and regioselective ruthenium-catalyzed hydroaminomethlyation of olefins is reported. Key to success is the use of specific 2-phosphino-substituted imidazole ligands and triruthenium dodecacarbonyl as catalyst. Both industrially important aliphatic as well as various functionalized olefins react with primary and
