The through-space CH/π attraction between the η -arene ligand on Ru and the carbonyl aryl substituent (see transition states in picture) plays a key role in the enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of aromatic carbonyl compounds with 2-propanol or formic acid, catalyzed by chiral η -arene-Ru complexes.
钌上的η-芳烃配体与羰基芳基取代基之间的空间CH/π相互作用(见图片中的过渡态)在手性η-芳烃-钌配合物催化的用2-丙醇或甲酸对芳香族羰基化合物进行对映选择性转移氢化反应中起关键作用。
