A well-defined cationic Ru-H complex catalyzes reductive etherification of aldehydes and ketones with alcohols. The catalytic method employs environmentally benign water as the solvent and cheaply available molecular hydrogen as the reducing agent to afford unsymmetrical ethers in a highly chemoselective manner.
一种结构明确的阳离子钌-氢配合物催化醛和酮与醇的还原醚化反应。该催化方法使用环境友好的水作为溶剂,以及廉价易得的分子氢作为还原剂,以高度化学选择性的方式生成不对称醚。
