Fig. 3: Generic applicability of RuAqua 3 for several synthetic transformations.
From: An air- and moisture-stable ruthenium precatalyst for diverse reactivity
a, Ruthenium precatalyst 3 is effective for the alkene isomerization of eugenol. b, Alkyne hydroalkynylation. c, C(sp3)–H bond oxidation using 3 as a precatalyst. d, Curtius rearrangement of a 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-one group. e, Alkene cleavage using sodium periodate catalysed by 3. Volatile or unstable structures (grey fragments) were not isolated. f, Ketone transfer hydrogenation using isopropanol as the terminal reductant. g, Use of 3 as a synthetic precursor for photocatalyst formation using a mixer mill. aYields determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy using an internal standard. bReaction run at 25 °C. cReaction run at 25 °C for 8 h. dReaction was found to have low reproducibility with conversion varying between 10% and 95%. e50 °C.
