Ruthenium-Catalyzed Ionic Hydrogenation Reactions. Edition No. 1

VDM Publishing House, August 2008, Pages: 108

Homogeneous hydrogenation of C=N bonds remains a
challenge to catalysis, particularly when enantioface
selectivity is needed. During the past decade some
progress has been made in this area; however, high
enantioselectivities has been obtained only for
limited classes of imines or their derivatives. There
is thus a great need to develop new catalyst systems
for asymmetric hydrogenation of C=N bonds. This book
begins with a brief literature survey on the
mechanisms of C=N hydrogenation, followed by a
detailed description of ionic hydrogenation, an
alternative method and new concept for hydrogenation.
The main focus of the book is on the scope and
mechanism of ruthenium-catalyzed ionic hydrogenation
reactions. This information should be useful to
industrial scientists who are seeking chemoselective
and stereoselective hydrogenation processes, as well
as to academic researchers who are interested in
reaction mechanisms and catalyst design.
