Multimetallic sequential catalytic ruthenium catalysts

Abstract Ruthenium holds a prominent position among the efficient transition metals involved in catalytic processes. Molecular ruthenium catalysts are able to perform unique transformations based on a variety of reaction mechanisms. They arise from easy to make complexes with versatile catalytic properties, and are ideal precursors for the performance of successive chemical transformations and catalytic reactions. This review provides examples of catalytic cascade reactions and sequential transformations initiated by ruthenium precursors present from the outset of the reaction and involving a common mechanism, such as in alkene metathesis, or in which the compound formed during the first step is used as a substrate for the second ruthenium-catalyzed reaction. Multimetallic sequential catalytic transformations promoted by ruthenium complexes first, and then by another metal precursor will also be illustrated.
