General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Click here for more information.

Application

Catalyst for hydrogenation of esters to alcohols. Greener alternative to stoichiometric hydride reagents.

Replacing Phosphorus with Sulfur for the Efficient Hydrogenation of Esters
Catalyst for the hydrogenation of esters to alcohols.

Other Notes

"The mer-SNS complexes form isomers in solution. This is due to the different arrangements of the SEt groups relative to the SNS ligand plane. Two of the isomers have eclipsed SEt groups (arranged on one side of the SNS plane), and the third isomer has staggered SEt groups (occupying the opposite sides of the SNS plane)."

Catalyst tune-up: A readily available, air-stable amino-sulfide catalyst, [RuCl(2)(PPh(3)){HN(C(2)H(4)SEt)(2)}], has been developed. This complex displays outstanding efficiency for the hydrogenation of a broad range of substrates with C=X bonds (esters, ketones, imines), as well as for the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling

Articles

Learn about Ester Hydrogenation from MilliporeSigma. The reduction of esters to alcohols is typically accomplished using metal hydrides. While effective, it comes at the cost of stoichiometric waste and complicated workup procedures.
