Description

General description

Ruthenium(III) chloride is a chemical compound, that can be used as a mild Lewis acid catalyst for the acetalization of aldehydes, acetalization of alcohols, and conversion of ketoximes to amides. Additionally, it can also be used as a precursor to synthesize Ru nanoparticles.

Application

Ruthenium(III) chloride is used as a catalyst:

In the synthesis of β‐amino alcohols by nucleophilic opening of epoxides with anilines.
In the acetylation of varies of phenols, alcohols, thiols, and amines under mild conditions.
In the synthesis of α‐aminonitriles by mixing aldehydes, amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanides.

We studied the role of alkali cations in the [{RuCl2(p-cymene)}2]-pseudo-dipeptide-catalyzed enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones with isopropanol. Lithium salts were shown to increase the enantioselectivity of the reaction when iPrONa or iPrOK was used as the base. Similar transfer-hydrogenation systems
