Primary alcohol dehydrogenation by a PNP-Ru(II) catalyst was probed by low-temperature NMR experiments. Facile dehydrogenation occurred at -30 °C, but the resulting aldehydes were not found in solution, as they were trapped by the catalyst through a new mode of metal-ligand cooperation involving Ru-O coordination and an unusual, highly reversible C-C coupling with the PNP pincer ligand.
通过低温 NMR 实验研究了 PNP-Ru(II) 催化剂引发的伯醇脱氢反应。在-30°C 下即可实现醇的脱氢反应,但生成的醛并未在溶液中检出,因为它们通过涉及 Ru-O 配位和 PNP 钳形配体的一种不寻常的、高度可逆的 C-C 偶联的全新的金属-配体协同作用方式被催化剂捕获。
