General description

Atomic number of base material: 44 Ruthenium

Application

Carbonyl cluster precursor and H-transfer catalyst. Used in the reductive carbonylation of aromatic nitro compounds to carbamates. The phosphine-stabilized carbonyl cluster has been tethered to oxide supports. Applied in improved catalysis of the allylic amination of unactivated olefins by nitroarenes.
Catalyst used in a [3+2+1] carbonylative cycloaddition of silylacteylenes and α,ß-unsaturated ketones providing good yields of α-pyrones.

Ruthenium catalyzes a carbonylative [3+2+1] cycloaddition, using silylacetylenes, alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones, and CO as the starting materials, providing the new method for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted alpha-pyrones. In this reaction, the carbonyl group and alpha-carbon of vinyl ketones are incorporated as
