Application

The purpose of [((S,S)-2-Amino-1,2-diphenylethyl)[(4-tolyl)sulfonyl]amido](chloro)(p-cymene)ruthenium(II) is to serve as an effective catalyst in a range of chemical reactions, particularly in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of imines and ketones. This complex is adept at facilitating intramolecular asymmetric reductive amination as well as tandem hydroformylation and hydrogenation of terminal olefins. It exhibits high enantioselectivity, allowing for precise hydrogenation of functionalized ketones with various substituents such as dialkylamino, hydroxy, siloxy, carbonyl, ester, amide, or thioester groups. Additionally, it plays a role as a reactant in studies focused on the thermal decomposition of areneruthenium chiral amido-amine alkyl complexes, highlighting its diverse applications in organic synthesis.
