Ruthenium -. chloride

The metal is isolated commercially by a complex chemical process, the final stage of which is the hydrogen reduction of ammonium ruthenium chloride, which yields a powder. The powder is consolidated by powder metallurgy techniques or by argon-arc welding. 

When a ruthenium chloride solution was electrolyzed for 500 s with a 120-mA current, 31.0 mg of ruthenium was deposited. What is the oxidation number of ruthenium in the ruthenium chloride ... 

In an effort directed at developing a racemization catalyst which works uniformly for all the substrates at room temperature, we designed and synthesized a novel aminocyclopentadienyl ruthenium chloride complex 5. The DKR of aromatic as well as aliphatic alcohols could be conducted at room temperature. In case of aromatic alcohols, the substituent effects were found insignificant in the DKR however, aromatic alcohols have comparatively faster conversion rates than their ahphatic counterparts. This is the first ever report of a catalyst... 

Other one-pot preparations of bimetallic nanoparticles include NOct4(BHEt3) reduction of platinum and ruthenium chlorides to provide Pto.sRuo.s nanoparticles by Bonnemann et al. [65-67] sonochemical reduction of gold and palladium ions to provide AuPd nanoparticles by Mizukoshi et al. [68,69] and NaBH4 reduction of dend-rimer—PtCl4 and -PtCl " complexes to provide dend-rimer-stabilized PdPt nanoparticles by Crooks et al. [70]. 

Several other versions of these catalysts have been developed. Arene complexes of monotosyl-l,2-diphenylethylenediamine ruthenium chloride give good results with a,(3-ynones.55 The active catalysts are generated by KOH. These catalysts also function by hydrogen transfer, with isopropanol serving as the hydrogen source. Entries 6 to 8 in Scheme 5.3 are examples. 

For instance, some time ago Newkome et al. reported the synthesis of ruthenium based dendrimers [170]. A dendrimer (80) with twelve peripheral terpyridine ligands was built around a central quaternary carbon-based core. In the final step complexation between the terminal ligand of the dendrimer and a terpyridinyl ruthenium chloride building block afforded the dodecaruthenium cascade molecule 80 (Fig. 35). Thus, preconstructed cores and dendritic fragments were linked by Ru2+ as the connecting unit and this mode of connectivity could be denoted by [—(Ru)—]. 

Aldehyde 244 reacts with manganese dioxide and sodium cyanide in ethanol to give ethyl ester 245 (Scheme 19), while oxidation of alcohol 12 with sodium peroxodisulfate in the presence of a catalytic amount of ruthenium chloride furnishes the carboxylic acid 246 (Scheme 19) <1998CPB287>.

In an effort directed at developing a racemization catalyst that works uniformly for a wide range of substrates at room temperature, we designed and synthesized a novel aminocyclopentadienyl ruthenium chloride complex 6 [25]. The DKR of...

The treatment of this insoluble residue may vary. In one typical process, residue is subjected to fusion with sodium peroxide. Ruthenium and osmium are converted to water-soluble sodium ruthenate and osmate, which are leached with water. The aqueous solution is treated with chlorine gas and heated. The ruthenate and the osmate are converted to their tetroxides. Ruthenium tetroxide is distilled out and collected in hydrochloric acid. The tetroxide is converted into ruthenium chloride. Traces of osmium are removed from ruthenium chloride solution by boiling with nitric acid. 

The formation of other mono- [27-29] or even bis[alkoxy(alkenyl)allenylidene[ ruthenium complexes [28, 30] from the corresponding ruthenium chlorides and 5,5 -diphenyl-penta-1,3 -diynyl alcohol or trimethylsilyl ether in the presence of methanol (Scheme 3.13) and of the allenylidene complex 18 in the absence of methanol (Scheme 3.13) [30, 31] was also suggested to proceed via pentatetraenylidene intermediates. Neither one of these pentatetraenylidene complexes could be isolated or spectroscopically detected although their formation as an intermediate was very likely. 

Dr. Halpern I don t know whether this is relevant to the first reaction or not, but we have also been struggling with the study of various reactions of ruthenium chlorides including ruthenium(II) chloride for a long time. Among the reactions studied is the formation of olefin and carbonyl complexes of ruthenium(II). These form readily in aqueous solution, and are fairly stable. James and Kemp, working on these systems in my laboratory have studied in some detail the kinetics of the reactions ... 

Jack Halpern Perhaps I have more reason than anyone else to be disposed to the view that 7r-complexing is an important step of the insertion reaction, because I think that possibly we have the only reasonably clear cut case of an olefin insertion reaction where a complex is clearly implicated. This is the ruthenium chloride-catalyzed hydrogenation of certain olefins, which almost certainly involves the insertion of the olefin into a ruthenium hydrogen bond and where certainly a ruthenium olefin complex is involved as an observable reactant. Nevertheless, I am not at all sure to what extent this is a general or necessary feature of such insertion reactions. The important question is whether one or two coordination positions on the metal ion are involved in the transition state of the insertion reaction. For example, if one considers the insertion of an olefin, say into an M—X bond, then the transition state may look something like ... 

An eco-friendly synthesis of 3, as shown in Scheme 14.10, commences with the solvent-free condensation of (S)-aminobutanol (32) and y-butyrolactone (35), affording the condensed alcohol 36 in quantitahve yield with water as the only by-product [31]. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) mediated or ruthenium chloride (RUCI2) catalyzed (in combination with sodium hypochlorite) oxidahon of the resulting alcohol 36 afforded intermediate 37. Ammonia gas treatment of the mixed anhydride of acid 37 yielded the API 3 in comparable yields to those obtained in the first-generahon synthesis.
