Application

Tris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) dichloride or [RuCl2(PPh3)3] can be used as a catalyst to synthesize:
  • Functionalized alcohols by C-C cross-coupling reaction between different alcohols via sp3 C-H bond activation of primary alcohols in the presence of Lewis acid.
  • Furan derivatives from allenyl sulfides via 1,4 migration of the sulfanyl group.
  • 1,3-diphenylpropan-1-one by alkylation of acetophenone with benzyl alcohol via C-C bond formation.
  • Vinyl chloride monomer by hydrochlorination reaction of acetylene.

RuCl2(PPh3)3 can also be used as a catalyst in the cyclization, isomerization, reduction, oxidation, and cross-coupling reactions of a variety of organic products. Hydrogenation of nitro groups, imines, and ketones, as well as selective oxidation of alcohols are also possible in the presence of this catalyst.
